Speaker 1: Onto GV. This is Sydney now with.
Speaker 2: Clinton Thursday June nineteen. It is Clinton maynight here one
Speaker 2: three one eight seven three. I was driving through the
Speaker 2: local suburbs in my area this morning and I noticed
Speaker 2: all these kids at the ovals taking shots at goals,
Speaker 2: and in front of rugby league posts there were kids
Speaker 2: lining up trying to kick some goals and I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: what's happening here on a Thursday morning. This must be
Speaker 2: mums and dads. Saw Zach Lomax miss all those conversions
Speaker 2: for New South Wales last night in Oriegin too, and thought, hey,
Speaker 2: there might be an opportunity here. New South Wales might
Speaker 2: be looking for a goalkicker. Unfortunately for the Blues, even
Speaker 2: though the game last night was played in AFL territory,
Speaker 2: you don't get a point for missing in rugby league
Speaker 2: what you do in Australian rules. But it is a
Speaker 2: lovely afternoon across Sydney, So after school, if you want
Speaker 2: to take the kids down the local park and practice
Speaker 2: the goal kicking, or maybe just take the dog for
Speaker 2: a walk, do it because it's a beautiful weather across Sydney.
Speaker 2: This authternoon plenty coming up on the show if you
Speaker 2: own an electric vehicle, you could soon be paying a
Speaker 2: special tax. The government admits because ev drivers don't pay
Speaker 2: fuel excise, they're going to need to contribute to our
Speaker 2: roads in other ways. We don't examine how that could work.
Speaker 2: The state government, talking about roads funding, has announced to
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty six million dollar plan to improve
Speaker 2: roads in Sydney's northwest. But this has sparked a war
Speaker 2: of words in Macquarie Street.
Speaker 1: Today.
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a look at that Mark gyre
Speaker 2: and all the fallout from Origin to and the suggestion
Speaker 2: the referee Ashley Climbed, should never referee Origin again. And
Speaker 2: I'm going to spin in two GB's winter wheel. This
Speaker 2: is your chance to win hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars
Speaker 2: some great prizes as well. Don't call yet, you need
Speaker 2: my que to coll later in the program. You are
Speaker 2: our eyes and ears when it's happening in Sydney now,
Speaker 2: So semi text message zero force zero eight seven three
Speaker 2: eight seven three have you say on one three one
Speaker 2: eight seven three. Well in Sydney now. There are three
Speaker 2: men in custody over allegations they profited from the sale
Speaker 2: of fake counterfeit luxury goods and made as much as
Speaker 2: ten million dollars from the sales. The profits of their
Speaker 2: alleged crimes then went towards buying high end sports cars,
Speaker 2: Lamborghinis and McLaren's. The men have been in caught this
Speaker 2: afternoon seeking bail. A decision on bail will not be
Speaker 2: made today. Detective Superintendent Peter Foe is the commander of
Speaker 2: the Organized Crime Squad and joins us out. Thank you
Speaker 2: for your time. Detective. How did this operation work?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hi Clinton, thanks for having me. So. Essentially, the
Speaker 3: Organized Crime Squad, we're going to Unexplained Wealth team and
Speaker 3: they look at exactly what this scenario was. People who
Speaker 3: are out there living well beyond their means and making
Speaker 3: money from any type of crime really, but organized crime.
Speaker 3: And they work closely in with the new South Walest
Speaker 3: Crime Commission. And we identified these people that they've been
Speaker 3: doing this for about three years and went into resolution
Speaker 3: on the investigation yesterday finding large amounts of fake, copied
Speaker 3: luxury goods and seizing these nine high end luxury motor vehicles.
Speaker 2: So what were they selling? What were the luxury goods?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Look at I mean when we executed the three search
Speaker 3: rights on the premises. It was like going into department store. Essentially.
Speaker 3: There's absolutely everything. There's sneakers, clothing, watchers, handbags, everything you
Speaker 3: can think of the high end luxury goods stores sell.
Speaker 3: They were selling copies off.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you've made these arrests and this is all
Speaker 2: going to be played out in court, and that process
Speaker 2: to start at the day, Peter, because I've often wondered
Speaker 2: when you pull up a set of lights, it can
Speaker 2: be in the suburbs of Sydney and you look at
Speaker 2: the car next to you and it's a Lamborghini, And
Speaker 2: sometimes you look at the driver behind the wheel and
Speaker 2: they look pretty young, and you think, well, you've done
Speaker 2: very well for yourself. Maybe you've had a tech startup
Speaker 2: or something. But you do wonder sometimes where the money
Speaker 2: is coming from for these cars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, and you know not everyone that drives is
Speaker 3: doing it illegally, but you know, this is a perfect
Speaker 3: example of how people can make enough money through committing
Speaker 3: crime to sort of build like enough wealth to move
Speaker 3: not only extremely large amounts of cash through their bank accounts,
Speaker 3: but by these luxury motive vehicles. One motor vehicle alone
Speaker 3: was worth approximately one million dollars out of the vehicles
Speaker 3: we seized, and the title of vehicles were well over
Speaker 3: three million dollars in value, So yeah, I mean, and
Speaker 3: these people were quite They were blatantly flaunting their wealth
Speaker 3: that they're making from this. You know, they're on social
Speaker 3: media posting things in terms of their wealth. So it's
Speaker 3: always good to get these type of people that. The
Speaker 3: best thing is that these people are undermining a legitimate
Speaker 3: business and industry. The legitimate business out there trying to
Speaker 3: sell goods and they employ a lot of people and
Speaker 3: those people rely on that employment, so you know, they
Speaker 3: mind that whole process and industry.
Speaker 2: Of course, this plays out before the courts, but what
Speaker 2: now happens to what you've seized?
Speaker 3: Essentially there, you know, we have all the goods and
Speaker 3: there's you know, we've got a large amount of goods
Speaker 3: to you, well over a thousand different items that we've seized,
Speaker 3: and you know they're analyzed and certified as being copies
Speaker 3: or fake or fraudulent, and then it's tirely likely they'll
Speaker 3: be destroyed at some stage.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for your time, no problems.
Speaker 3: Thanks Clinton.
Speaker 2: Detective Inspector Peter Foe, who is from the Organized Crime
Speaker 2: squad the command up now. Certainly not our alleging that
Speaker 2: everybody he drives a Ferrari in Sydney is a criminal.
Speaker 2: They're certainly not. But when you pull up at a
Speaker 2: set of lights in some Sydney suburbs and you look
Speaker 2: at the drivers of some of these vehicles and you think, gee,
Speaker 2: twenty two years of age, that kid's done pretty well.
Speaker 2: From yourself, it does make you wonder.
Speaker 4: Be your part of Sydney now with Clinton may not
Speaker 4: call one three one eight seven three.
Speaker 2: It's twelve past three. The unemployment rate has remained steady
Speaker 2: at four point one percent for May, but few are
Speaker 2: Austrasians were actually in work over the past month. I
Speaker 2: wonder what this means for interest rates. Brendan rinn is
Speaker 2: the chief economist with KPMG and joins us. Is this
Speaker 2: figure a surprise to you, Brendan.
Speaker 5: No, it's not Clinton, And I know at a headline
Speaker 5: level it sort of doesn't look like much has happened
Speaker 5: during the month, But when you get behind the numbers,
Speaker 5: it actually there has been quite a bit going on.
Speaker 5: What you've seen is that the are switching from part
Speaker 5: time employment to full time employment. So you had about
Speaker 5: forty one thousand people changed from part time employment and
Speaker 5: i'll drop out of part time employment, and about thirty
Speaker 5: eight and a half thousand people got full time employment.
Speaker 5: So that's why there was about two and a half thousand.
Speaker 2: People that that's not a bad thing that there are
Speaker 2: more people in full time jobs, so.
Speaker 5: What Morand it meant that the hours worked increase as well,
Speaker 5: So we're act lifting up the amount of activity that's happening.
Speaker 2: Because people are always complaining about that the level of
Speaker 2: underemployment the economy and that statistics don't necessarily always show
Speaker 2: that level.
Speaker 5: No, that's right, but the underemployment number and just with
Speaker 5: all of this actually dropped during the quarter during the
Speaker 5: month as well, so again it does show the resilience
Speaker 5: within the economy at the moment.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that being the case, So this does show
Speaker 2: some economic strength. That being the case, what does it
Speaker 2: mean when the RBA meets again to decide the next
Speaker 2: movement on interest rates?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think that they need to be a
Speaker 5: little bit forward looking. I think one of the things
Speaker 5: to realize is that we've been stuck at this four
Speaker 5: point one percent level for quite some time now, five
Speaker 5: months in a row. We've been and don't get me wrong,
Speaker 5: it's we're below the level of unemployment that you would
Speaker 5: have that says your act full employment. So the labor
Speaker 5: market is tight. But what you're seeing is a lot
Speaker 5: of that employment growth has happened in what's called the
Speaker 5: non market sector, so in public services, in age care,
Speaker 5: in healthcare, and in education. And that's about that's about
Speaker 5: policy decisions and around quality. Not a lot of employment
Speaker 5: in the private side of the economy, in the market
Speaker 5: side of the economy, and interest rates I think are
Speaker 5: too high to type and what we need to do
Speaker 5: is drop those down to stimulate businesses making investment activity
Speaker 5: and household spending a bit more, which will then flow
Speaker 5: through into private sector employment.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the RBA is of the same mind. Thank you
Speaker 2: for your time, Brendan, Thanks Clenton, Doctor Brendan Ring the
Speaker 2: chief economists with KPMG. Quarter past three, around three thousand
Speaker 2: Australians have now registered to be evacuated from the Middle
Speaker 2: East from Israel in Iran, and I'm going to talk
Speaker 2: to an Australian later in the program who's now made
Speaker 2: it back home. The foreign Mister Penny Wong says increasingly,
Speaker 2: it's going to be a challenge to get OSSI's out.
Speaker 2: They're not going to put on dedicated flights so that
Speaker 2: there's no hercules about to fly into the Middle East
Speaker 2: to pull Australians out. And I know a lot of
Speaker 2: you are of the view, well, these people knew when
Speaker 2: they went to Israel, or when they went to different
Speaker 2: parts of the Middle East, they knew it was a
Speaker 2: war zone. It has been the case with quite some time.
Speaker 2: What they're doing is they're being busted across the border.
Speaker 2: But that's tricking in itself because think about the borders
Speaker 2: with Israel, Southern Lebanon or Syria, hardly where you'd want
Speaker 2: to go. Maybe Jordan's the option. Airspace of the region
Speaker 2: has been closed. The US President Donald Trump today has
Speaker 2: refused to outline what his plan is.
Speaker 6: Do you even to answer questions about whether you are
Speaker 6: moving closer you believe the US is moving closer to
Speaker 6: striking Iranian nuclear facilities?
Speaker 1: Where's your mindset on that? You can say that, right?
Speaker 7: You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question.
Speaker 7: Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component?
Speaker 8: And what time exactly, sir.
Speaker 7: Sir, would you strike it? Would you please inform U
Speaker 7: so we can be there and watch. You don't know
Speaker 7: that I'm going to even do it. You don't know
Speaker 7: I may do it, I may not do it. I mean,
Speaker 7: nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell
Speaker 7: you this is that Iran's got a lot of trouble
Speaker 7: and they want to negotiate. And I said, why didn't
Speaker 7: you negotiate with me before all the death and destruction?
Speaker 7: Why didn't you ago? I said to the people, why
Speaker 7: didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could
Speaker 7: have done fine, You would have out a country.
Speaker 2: So Penny Wong has now been asked mister Trump's comments,
Speaker 2: there are those comments unhelpful?
Speaker 9: Well, what is unhelpful is Iran's refusal to commit to
Speaker 9: discontinuing any nuclear program. So that Eron has a choice
Speaker 9: here and it should make the choice to discontinue its program,
Speaker 9: any program, and to return to talks.
Speaker 1: As President Trump also said, it's never too.
Speaker 2: Late our foreign Minister Penny Wong issues with the Opal
Speaker 2: card network. Coming up next, We're going to conduct, as
Speaker 2: Sydney Now listeners, honesty session. I want to hear some
Speaker 2: truth from you that's in a moment one three seven
Speaker 2: three our number. This is Sydney now seventeen degrees in
Speaker 2: the city at seventeen degrees in Campbelltown. I was mentioning
Speaker 2: that it's a lovely afternoon if you want to take
Speaker 2: the kids of the grand kids down at the local
Speaker 2: park and maybe practice your goalkicking. New South Wales is
Speaker 2: looking for a new goalkicker. It's great weather for it,
Speaker 2: lovely afternoon. I mentioned David on the text line says,
Speaker 2: come on lovely afternoon, question mark. Not if you're sitting
Speaker 2: in the traffic heading to the Southerland shy, it's not lovely.
Speaker 2: It's not great heading home at the moment. If you
Speaker 2: are in the city heading south, Fiona has a traffic
Speaker 2: report for us. Whereabouts are you, Fiana?
Speaker 10: I'm in Castle Hill at the back of Castle Hill
Speaker 10: and it's just fun to stop.
Speaker 2: What road we're about to say? You in Castle Hill
Speaker 2: Old Northern.
Speaker 10: Roads heading into Castle Hill.
Speaker 2: Does it look like there's an accident there or this
Speaker 2: is just usual peak hour traffic?
Speaker 10: No, this is worse.
Speaker 8: This is worse.
Speaker 10: And I've seen two police cars got the opposite direction.
Speaker 10: I can see flashing lights the head on Old or
Speaker 10: the road in the center towards the shopping center.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, we'll check that out with the police now.
Speaker 2: So Castle Hill Old Northern Road towards the shopping cent
Speaker 2: will find out if there's an issue there with the police.
Speaker 2: Word on the street. Just thanks to temper a great
Speaker 2: night's sleep, night after night. The difference is temper. If
Speaker 2: you see something in the roads that we need to
Speaker 2: know about, letting me know about it. One three one
Speaker 2: eight seven three is our number. A couple of text
Speaker 2: messages here about the issue of organized crime and criminals
Speaker 2: who flaunt their wealth. So the three men who've been
Speaker 2: arrested over this operation where they've been accused and they've
Speaker 2: been charged of selling fake high end luxury goods. According
Speaker 2: to the police, they were bragging about their luxury their
Speaker 2: wealth online on social media and made the point to
Speaker 2: Peter Foe, who's the head of the squad that's investigating this,
Speaker 2: that you see a lot of young people, not a lot,
Speaker 2: but you see some young people around Sydney Vite driving
Speaker 2: very expensive motor vehicles and it makes you wonder how
Speaker 2: they can afford them. Now, that's not to say all
Speaker 2: young people who drive a Lamborghini are doing the wrong thing.
Speaker 2: They're certainly not. I mean a lot of young people
Speaker 2: made a lot of money through property, through tech startups,
Speaker 2: for instance, but there are others who don't. Jessica says,
Speaker 2: there are three Lamborghinis that regularly drive around the Southern
Speaker 2: suburbs white in color, lime green and tangerine orange, and
Speaker 2: the drivers seem to be very young behind the wheel.
Speaker 2: Usually if, for instance, you've got a Ferrari, right, you've
Speaker 2: saved up all your life to buy yourself a Ferrari.
Speaker 2: You've been very successful in your career. You buy yourself
Speaker 2: a red Ferrari. You do, you have to buy a
Speaker 2: red Ferrari. You don't buy a yellow one, say with
Speaker 2: a Lamborghini. Maybe not yellow? Let me yeah, you buy yellow. Embighinddy,
Speaker 2: you don't buy yourself a lime green Lamborghini unless you
Speaker 2: want to stand out from the crowd. I think that's
Speaker 2: a bit of a giveaway. Jason Reckins, if organized crime,
Speaker 2: particularly drug dealing, ceased to exist, you would find the
Speaker 2: sales of some of those high in luxury sports cars
Speaker 2: would plummet. Twenty five past three. Now, I want some
Speaker 2: honesty from you this afternoon, and you can stay anonymous
Speaker 2: with this when you catch the bus. If you catch
Speaker 2: the bus, do you swipe your ropal card. Now you
Speaker 2: don't have to identify yourself. I just want to get
Speaker 2: an understanding of whether a lot of people and I'm
Speaker 2: not going to put you in I'm not going to
Speaker 2: get you in trouble, okay, but a lot of people
Speaker 2: get on a bus and don't use their APLE card,
Speaker 2: or you don't swipe your phone with your credit card
Speaker 2: on the phone with Apple Pay. I ask you that
Speaker 2: because even if you're doing the right thing, it appears
Speaker 2: that some of the time you can't actually swipe your
Speaker 2: rople card. I received a word on the street met
Speaker 2: from one of our bus driver listeners. Word on the
Speaker 2: streets for temper, great night's sleep night after night. The
Speaker 2: difference is temper. And if there's something else you want
Speaker 2: us to look at, that's our word on the street,
Speaker 2: let me know about it. Via TGB dot com. Now
Speaker 2: I won't name the driver who's been in contact with
Speaker 2: this week, but she sent me a message after finishing
Speaker 2: a shift and she writes, I've spent most of the
Speaker 2: day with the OPAL on my bus. The open reader offline.
Speaker 2: Another day of free rides for passengers no meaningful data collected.
Speaker 2: She writes, this is not a new thing. OPAL has
Speaker 2: been completely unreliable from the start. It is offline in
Speaker 2: my experience on my buses maybe thirty to forty percent
Speaker 2: of the time, if not more. She says, there's no
Speaker 2: integrity in the data that is collected and that data
Speaker 2: is important because it gives the bus operators and then
Speaker 2: Transport for New South Wales information about passengers and where
Speaker 2: they're going to schedule their services. But there's a big
Speaker 2: issue here as well. It means the operators and therefore
Speaker 2: the government they're missing out on ticket revenue. So I've
Speaker 2: been in contact with Transport for New South Wales just
Speaker 2: seeking some information about the reliability of our open card
Speaker 2: system and it is up for replacement. Transport for New
Speaker 2: South Wales has issued me with a statement. They say
Speaker 2: they are aware of some incidents where OPAL readers may
Speaker 2: not have worked for passengers on some buses. While these
Speaker 2: are not related to any widespread open network issues, Transport
Speaker 2: for New South Wales works closely with BUCK operators to
Speaker 2: understand and rectify these issues when they occur, to reset,
Speaker 2: repair or replace the validators. So what your swipe as
Speaker 2: needed there are a number of devices on buses that
Speaker 2: contribute to open working, including the bus driver console, the
Speaker 2: open readers, and network infrastructure. During twenty twenty four, so
Speaker 2: they don't have figures for this year, but last year
Speaker 2: the overall reliability and the equipment on the bus network
Speaker 2: achieved a performance of ninety nine point eighty five percent.
Speaker 2: So unless it's just a problem with my driver's bus,
Speaker 2: she reckons between thirty to forty percent. The open card
Speaker 2: readers don't work. The opal card network is going to
Speaker 2: be replaced in the next couple of years, and that's
Speaker 2: another story, and I'll mention that later, but just tell
Speaker 2: me about your experience. Firstly, if you catch buses of
Speaker 2: the open cards work all the time that the readers,
Speaker 2: Now I don't catch buses are his trains, and the
Speaker 2: readers always work so that they'll always get me for
Speaker 2: the fair. But beyond that, I just want some honesty
Speaker 2: from you. Do you actually pay the fair or given
Speaker 2: there's only a bus, there's no ticket inspector off and
Speaker 2: on a bus, do you're ride for free? Just let
Speaker 2: me know, no judgment here. You tell me one three
Speaker 2: one eight seven three and good afternoon, Katie Foller.
Speaker 11: Good afternoon Clinton. Almost three thousand Australians have registered to
Speaker 11: be evacuated out of Israel and Iran amid escalating tensions
Speaker 11: between the countries. A small group has been tagken through
Speaker 11: a land crossing in Israel. No one has been rescued
Speaker 11: from Iran due to the security situation. Seven men have
Speaker 11: been charged following a three day operation focused on arresting
Speaker 11: alleged domestic violence offenders in the state's north. Among those
Speaker 11: taken into custody was a twenty eight year old man
Speaker 11: allegedly found hiding in a wardrobe nearly is More research
Speaker 11: suggests covid, RSV and the flu can increase the risk
Speaker 11: of heart attack or stroke. A team from the University
Speaker 11: of Melbourne has found the viruses lead to inflammation in
Speaker 11: the body, which temporarily increases the risk of blood clots,
Speaker 11: and using AI tools has been found to erode critical
Speaker 11: thinking skills. A US study found those who use chat
Speaker 11: GPT to write essays performed worse when tested on various
Speaker 11: skills compared with those who do their own work. In sport,
Speaker 11: Joseph Swale has been named in a thirty six man
Speaker 11: Wallaby squad for next month's Test match against Fiji. The
Speaker 11: former NRL star has overcome a fractured jaw. Clinton More
Speaker 11: News at four.
Speaker 2: Thank you Kat. Seventeen degrees in the CBD. It's sixteen
Speaker 2: degrees in Campbelltown at the moment. Peter Ford coming up
Speaker 2: in just a tick. But Opal cards, just tell me
Speaker 2: the truth. When you get onto a bus or other
Speaker 2: forms of public transport in Sydney, do you wipe your
Speaker 2: open card? Hello Rick?
Speaker 12: But yeah, I'll tell you the strett. I don't pay
Speaker 12: when I get on the bus. I don't use the card.
Speaker 13: I just get on because mate.
Speaker 3: I can't afford it since the card never paid out
Speaker 3: on Golden Point for all the punters, and that we've
Speaker 3: all got no money.
Speaker 2: Well, gamble responsibly, as they say, But you probably need
Speaker 2: to come up with a better excuse if a ticket
Speaker 2: inspector catches you, Rick, other than you didn't do too
Speaker 2: well on the punt. Hello Stephen, Hey mate, Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I never tap on, and I know a lot of
Speaker 2: people that don't tap on as well. Do you find
Speaker 2: the aple card readers work when you do try to
Speaker 2: tap on?
Speaker 12: I'll be honest with you, I've never even tried.
Speaker 2: Now, this is an honesty session. So no judgment. Does
Speaker 2: it make you feel bad.
Speaker 13: No, it doesn't because the cost of living is beyond
Speaker 13: the joke.
Speaker 2: Okay, good on your Stephen, Thank you mate. Bob's in
Speaker 2: Windsor Hello Bob.
Speaker 8: Hello.
Speaker 2: Do you use your Aple card all the time? Good boy?
Speaker 14: Get a free transport?
Speaker 2: Oh well, that makes it easy for you.
Speaker 14: But I don't give up until it's swipes.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 14: I see the bus drivers couldn't give a rat And
Speaker 14: if people's swipe or don't swipe, they just get on
Speaker 14: and walk up the back now and the bus drivers
Speaker 14: a word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the bus drivers feel they've got enough
Speaker 2: on their plates other than policing the affairs. Thank you, Bob.
Speaker 2: I'll come to more of your feedback on this shortly.
Speaker 2: Just tell me the truth, particularly with buses. Do you
Speaker 2: use your Opal card? Some traffic dramas that we've been
Speaker 2: reporting the Old Northern Road not far from the shopping
Speaker 2: center at Castle Hill. Thanks for this information one of
Speaker 2: our listeners. There's a van broken down. Police are on
Speaker 2: the scene. It is opposite the church is northbound on
Speaker 2: the traffic side, so northbound Old Northern Road, Castle Hill.
Speaker 2: Alex Cullen, who was on the Today Show, for a
Speaker 2: few years, has got himself a new job, Peter Ford
Speaker 2: with all the details, are they.
Speaker 15: Peter planding on your feet? I'm pleased for him that
Speaker 15: you didn't get off to a good start obviously when
Speaker 15: he was let go by the Today Show for doing
Speaker 15: so that was outright stupid, you know, taking that dare
Speaker 15: or that bet by Adrian for Tally, the multi multi
Speaker 15: millionaire to use a nickname that he liked. It was
Speaker 15: stupid and he got paid a very heavy price for
Speaker 15: it out the door. But fast forward a few months
Speaker 15: and things are great. Unfortunately though it does mean that
Speaker 15: Alex has to relocate to Melbourne with his family. But
Speaker 15: today it was announced he's going to be the sports
Speaker 15: reporter on the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show in Melbourne, which
Speaker 15: is an FM radio show very successful in the Melbourne
Speaker 15: breakfast radio market. It's owned by three aw as it
Speaker 15: is owned in Sydney by two GB so the FM's
Speaker 15: going to scramble out for what they can get the
Speaker 15: scraps after that. But Christian does a very good show
Speaker 15: and that's a great gig for Alex and he also
Speaker 15: it fits him perfectly because he's coming to Melbourne to
Speaker 15: host the afternoon new program on seven when that gets
Speaker 15: up and going. So he's going to be working quite
Speaker 15: long days though, because I would imagine for breakfast radio
Speaker 15: he would have to be in there at the very
Speaker 15: latest at five o'clock in the morning and then it'll
Speaker 15: be working right through until late afternoon at seven. But
Speaker 15: I'm sure he's thrilled.
Speaker 2: Oh he's a good fellow, Alex. I'm glad he's landed
Speaker 2: on his feet.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm not sure many of our listeners are a
Speaker 2: big fan of this man's work.
Speaker 16: I know w now lone Bleink knowing me one day.
Speaker 2: So that's a song called Hotline Blein quite appropriate for
Speaker 2: talk about radio brogram plead by a star named Drake.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he is very big time, even if you don't
Speaker 15: know him. He's very big time in that hip hop
Speaker 15: moving into R and B and pop, and he's been
Speaker 15: around fifteen years, hugely successful in that world. But he's
Speaker 15: a big gambler to say the least. So this is
Speaker 15: something he's posted up today. This is not speculation. This
Speaker 15: is something he has shared with his followers on social media.
Speaker 15: So in the past week gambling, he has waged fifty
Speaker 15: million two hundred and fifty five thousand dollars and for that,
Speaker 15: unfortunately for him, he's down five million, eight hundred and
Speaker 15: twenty two thousand dollars In the past fortnight, he's waged
Speaker 15: seventy five million, three hundred and eighteen thousand dollars and
Speaker 15: he's down five million, nine hundred and twenty eight thousand
Speaker 15: in the past month. I'm terrible with figures, and this
Speaker 15: is these are big numbers. In the past month, he's
Speaker 15: spent one hundred and twenty four million, five hundred and
Speaker 15: twenty seven thousand dollars on gambling, and he's down eight million,
Speaker 15: two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. Now, it raises
Speaker 15: a whole bunch of questions. Number One, why do you
Speaker 15: want to share that with people? Is he trying to
Speaker 15: provide some kind of salient lesson about the evils of
Speaker 15: gambling and how dangerous it can be. The other question
Speaker 15: for me is what's he betting on? You know, I
Speaker 15: do fifty bucks on the Queen of the Nile down
Speaker 15: at the pokys, and that's about the extent for me.
Speaker 15: What kind of gambling is he putting that money on it?
Speaker 15: It's remarkable I.
Speaker 2: Also wonder about the motivation for putting this up there online. Now,
Speaker 2: I've just been talking about a police operation in Sydney
Speaker 2: where three men have been arrested and police are able
Speaker 2: to arrest these people who are accused of operating a
Speaker 2: counterfeit luxury goods ring because they were bragging about their wealth,
Speaker 2: namely buying Lamborghini's and McLaren sports cars. Is that just
Speaker 2: part of the hip hop world that they like to
Speaker 2: flaunt their wealth.
Speaker 15: I think that's a part of it. But in the
Speaker 15: piece that he's put up, when he actually says I
Speaker 15: need to share with you the other side of gambling,
Speaker 15: and you think, well, that's good. He's showing people how
Speaker 15: no matter what level of amount of money you're spending,
Speaker 15: you can lose and you probably will lose. But then
Speaker 15: he goes on to basically say, I'm hoping I'm going
Speaker 15: to be able to post a big win for you
Speaker 15: all soon to see. So it's not exactly and if
Speaker 15: you look at if you do the maths on it,
Speaker 15: what he's spent per week, per fortnite, per month, his
Speaker 15: amount per week is going up a lot, So he's
Speaker 15: clearly chasing those losses, which is what gamblers will very
Speaker 15: often do.
Speaker 2: No matter how much money is in their bank account.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Peter, Thanks clipping our entertained reporter pewter Ford.
Speaker 1: If it matters to you, you'll hear it here. Sydney
Speaker 1: Now with Clinton Maynard until set.
Speaker 2: A man's been arrested after police uncovered a three D
Speaker 2: printer operation that has been manufacturing in somebody's home, effectively
Speaker 2: guns and weapons. A strikeforce has been examining the importation
Speaker 2: of three D printed firearms and firearm parts, but also
Speaker 2: three D computer aided design software and privately manufactured weapons.
Speaker 2: They've raided the home in the Blue Mountains in Blackheath,
Speaker 2: and during the raid, police say they've located in excess
Speaker 2: of one hundred various three D printed firearm parts, including
Speaker 2: magazines and triggers. They've seized a couple of completed firearms,
Speaker 2: a pistol and a long arm, and some imports as well.
Speaker 2: But this is the reality what police are now dealing
Speaker 2: with in the criminal underworld, three D printers being used
Speaker 2: to make weapons. The occupant of the home, a twenty
Speaker 2: nine year old man, has been arrested. Take it at
Speaker 2: contumber Prece station. He's now facing a range of charges.
Speaker 2: I've got lots of feedback on whether you pay affairs
Speaker 2: using an open card, or whether, particularly with a bus,
Speaker 2: whether you just take the risk and you don't bother.
Speaker 2: Now Martin is a bus driver. Hello Martin, I know
Speaker 2: how you go. I'm good. Do you see a lot
Speaker 2: of people getting on board your bus and not even
Speaker 2: bothering to pay?
Speaker 13: Okay, here's the thing. Years ago, revenue protection was real
Speaker 13: revenue protection. So the officers were big blokes. You didn't
Speaker 13: want to mess with them. They were just huge guys,
Speaker 13: and they were physically allowed to take people off the
Speaker 13: bus that didn't pay. Today they looked like school kids,
Speaker 13: stressful stool uniforms. Okay, they walk off the bus. I'll
Speaker 13: walk up to up a passenger ferravader and they'll say,
Speaker 13: ticket mate, show me a ticket. I'm not one, so okay,
Speaker 13: I'm not. I wonder you have any ID, so get nick.
Speaker 13: That problem walks off.
Speaker 2: I come across them quite regularly on trains, Martin. I
Speaker 2: don't really catch the bus, but catch the train. And
Speaker 2: I do see them questioning people. I've seen them issue fines. Now,
Speaker 2: I found myself in a position once where they said
Speaker 2: I hadn't tapped on my open card correctly, and they
Speaker 2: did take my details down and they were right. I
Speaker 2: for some reason didn't tap on, and they were able
Speaker 2: to look at my record and find that I do
Speaker 2: regularly tap on, so they sent me a warning letter.
Speaker 2: So I wonder if it's different than the buses compared
Speaker 2: to the trains.
Speaker 13: That's only, that's the only if you voluntarily give it
Speaker 13: to them, they cannot ah, and that's the difference. They
Speaker 13: can't flauce you. They can't say to you, you have
Speaker 13: to give me a ID now. The only people that
Speaker 13: can do that is the transit police, and they run
Speaker 13: the rail. They're on the rail.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a different story thanks to that information Martin,
Speaker 2: who's a bus driver. Jim says on the text line, Yes,
Speaker 2: I swipe, but my rule is simple. If the front
Speaker 2: open reedles doesn't work, I don't bother trying the other.
Speaker 2: The same goes for the other way, this one from Lisa.
Speaker 2: I use my open card and the readers do work
Speaker 2: every single time. Those that use their credit card or phone, though,
Speaker 2: I find those people have issues. Mike and Cronulla says
Speaker 2: the number of young people I see jumping gates at
Speaker 2: railway stations is beyond comprehension of a regular train user.
Speaker 2: I use it every day, see it all the time,
Speaker 2: as I'm sure you do as well. The station masters
Speaker 2: at major station the turn a blind eye. The behavior
Speaker 2: has been happening for decades. It must be costing the
Speaker 2: state government a lot of money.
Speaker 1: Until six.
Speaker 4: This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB
Speaker 4: call now one three one seven three.
Speaker 2: A few weeks ago, I brought you the program from Taree,
Speaker 2: a Mid North coast so savagely affected by the floods,
Speaker 2: and I think it's important that we don't forget about
Speaker 2: people who have been affected by natural disasters well outside
Speaker 2: of Sydney, because it's it's so easy for us to
Speaker 2: move on when we're not affected by these things. There's
Speaker 2: some concerns that have been raised in the papers today
Speaker 2: about the number of people who do not qualify for
Speaker 2: the federal government and the state government. And the government
Speaker 2: did extend part of this assistance scheme this week. They've
Speaker 2: added some more suburbs on the Mid North Coast in
Speaker 2: the Hunter Valley for businesses and homeowners so they will
Speaker 2: be able to apply for some But there's been suggestions
Speaker 2: that the grant level isn't high enough, so businesses who
Speaker 2: have been affected and qualify can access up to twenty
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars, but a lot of businesses saying, particularly
Speaker 2: primary producers farmers, this won't go anywhere near enough. There
Speaker 2: is another category of funding, it's called Category D funding
Speaker 2: and it's worth seventy five thousand dollars. Problem is a
Speaker 2: lot of the various primary producers on the Mid North
Speaker 2: Coast who have suffered they don't qualify as a Category D,
Speaker 2: and really the government's only pushing Category C, which is
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand dollars. A couple of weeks ago we
Speaker 2: spoke to May now. May is, like many in the area,
Speaker 2: has been denied financial assistance by Service New South Wales.
Speaker 2: She couldn't even apply for the minimum one hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty dollars. So I want to talk to May again.
Speaker 2: She owns an arcade in Tare.
Speaker 17: Hello May, Hi Clinton, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm Okavid, how are you.
Speaker 17: Well? We are surviving. We are coming together as a
Speaker 17: community and trying to make some sense of all of this.
Speaker 17: You know, we are. The flood rewards have receded, but
Speaker 17: the heartache is deepening as the reality set's in, you know,
Speaker 17: the fact that we are forming a community flood rally
Speaker 17: this coming Monday to get as many people as we
Speaker 17: can to sign a petition to try and classify this
Speaker 17: event as a Category D, which it was classified as
Speaker 17: in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: Now that's I mentioned the category D. So category D.
Speaker 2: If it was Category D, you'd be entitled a primer producer,
Speaker 2: for instance, business seventy five thousand dollars. Now, body I've
Speaker 2: spoken to in Tara in the surrounds tell me this
Speaker 2: flood is worse than twenty twenty one.
Speaker 17: It is, it's double the like it's the size of
Speaker 17: this flood is twice the size of the twenty twenty
Speaker 17: one flood. There's thousands of people that have been impacted, homeowners,
Speaker 17: at least one hundred businesses have been impacted this time,
Speaker 17: and they are all suffering because at this stage we
Speaker 17: are you know, we've gone through the process of stripping
Speaker 17: out buildings and removing walls, removing flooring, and now we're
Speaker 17: left with an empty space waiting for government to come
Speaker 17: back and tell us that we can move on. We
Speaker 17: were twenty five thousands for a business owner won't go anywhere.
Speaker 2: So are you entitled to the twenty five five we are.
Speaker 17: As a business. Yes, that when we put the arcade
Speaker 17: back together in twenty twenty one, it was to us
Speaker 17: a financial expenditure of nearly three hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, so twenty five doesn't go too fast.
Speaker 17: We are very frustrated because, as you know, we had
Speaker 17: a lot of media coverage. We had the premiere Chris
Speaker 17: Means come, we had Janelle Savin come, we had the
Speaker 17: Miniter for Disasters and Emergency Services and the Prime minister.
Speaker 2: The Prime Minister visited parts of the region as well.
Speaker 17: He did, he did. Now we've been so like my
Speaker 17: nephew who has reached out because Janelle Saffron, let me
Speaker 17: say straight off, she reached out to us, knowing on
Speaker 17: the recommendation from Chris Means that she reach out to us,
Speaker 17: and then twice he has emailed and then tried to
Speaker 17: find we haven't had a response back. I mean, do
Speaker 17: we have to you know.
Speaker 2: What you need help? You need help. So so Monday
Speaker 2: you're holding a rally and there'll be a petition to
Speaker 2: make sure that we'll have the area recategorized as a
Speaker 2: Category D, which would intold you more government assistant, so
Speaker 2: it to be on Monday. That's Monday, Okay, mate, we'll
Speaker 2: talk to you again on Monday because we're not going
Speaker 2: to let this go because people in Tarre surrounding districts
Speaker 2: you need help, Okay, So we'll talk to you again
Speaker 2: on Monday.
Speaker 17: May, yep, thank you.
Speaker 2: I am or who is the owner of an arcade
Speaker 2: in Tarre, and then they have shopkeepers who run their
Speaker 2: little businesses from that particular arcade. And you might say, well,
Speaker 2: you know, these people should have proper business insurance. These
Speaker 2: people shouldn't be relying on government handouts. But insurance is
Speaker 2: completely unaffordable since the twenty twenty one floods, the premiums
Speaker 2: have gone through the roof. No business can and no
Speaker 2: individual can afford the premiums that have been asked off.
Speaker 2: We as a society have an obligation to help people
Speaker 2: like May. So we'll be a rally on Monday and
Speaker 2: we'll talk about it next week. There are plenty of
Speaker 2: dramas on the roads this afternoon. Think if your message, Claudeine,
Speaker 2: She tells me. M one Joel's Bridge, so north of Sydney,
Speaker 2: heading north Middle Lane and the outside lane. Someone has
Speaker 2: just dropped to tarp and building materials just before you
Speaker 2: get to the first set of the old speed cameras. Okay,
Speaker 2: so this is the m one between Sydney and the
Speaker 2: Central Coast Joel's Bridge. If you're going northbound. There's some
Speaker 2: building materials all over the road and a tarp as well.
Speaker 2: So it's the middle lane and the outside lane. Thanks
Speaker 2: for letting me know about that. Claudeine. We have been
Speaker 2: reporting with Catherine about the dramas on Canterbury Road, just
Speaker 2: past Duke Street in Canterbury, a car has hit a pedestrian.
Speaker 2: We've just spoken with the New South Wales Ambulance Service.
Speaker 2: They tell us a Wood in her seventies has now
Speaker 2: been taken to a care Andbury hospital. She has minor head
Speaker 2: and shoulder injuries. The emergency services that actually cleaned up
Speaker 2: the scene pretty quickly. They've now left one of two
Speaker 2: eastbound lanes, though it remains closed. Ben Forden broke the
Speaker 2: big story this morning about a thousand families being sent
Speaker 2: a letter. Now, this is a letter about a man
Speaker 2: who was accused of inappropriate behavior and having what's deemed
Speaker 2: to be confronting material on his phone. And the Australian
Speaker 2: Federal Police has now confirmed what Ben brought us this morning. Now,
Speaker 2: it does not mean that this man has come into
Speaker 2: direct contact with the children from these thousand families, but
Speaker 2: the AFP believes it is only right that those families
Speaker 2: know what has occurred here. The Premier has also spoken
Speaker 2: about this today, but he says the identity of the
Speaker 2: man cannot be revealed for legal reasons.
Speaker 18: There are strict rules in place in terms of reporting requirements.
Speaker 18: Once an allegation has been made and there's a credible
Speaker 18: inquiry that's been unfolding. And whilst I completely acknowledged that's
Speaker 18: a confronting it, correspondent.
Speaker 2: If you were to have received that letter, understandably you'd
Speaker 2: be quite concerned about what you've just read and what
Speaker 2: you've been hearing about. But it does not mean that
Speaker 2: that your child, if you are in this position, your
Speaker 2: child has had direct contact with this man. Some may
Speaker 2: well have, But the AFP and our local police are
Speaker 2: also involved in this. Because the man is accused of
Speaker 2: criminal behavior, inappropriate behavior, the AFP has deemed it appropriate
Speaker 2: that people are actually told what has occurred here. I've
Speaker 2: just been reading the Sydney Morning Herald this afternoon about
Speaker 2: some of the inmates at the Francis Greenway Correctional Complex
Speaker 2: in Berkshire Park in western Sydney. Now it's a jail.
Speaker 2: Turns out some of the inmates are reptiles literally blue
Speaker 2: tongue lizards, freshwater turtles and pythons. I hadn't heard this before. Apparently, when,
Speaker 2: for instance, somebody finds a lizard and they bring up wires,
Speaker 2: wires ends up taking these reptiles to the jail. Apparently
Speaker 2: the inmates have some work trying to rehabilitate the reptiles
Speaker 2: and then they're given to reptile handlers down the track.
Speaker 1: There is Sidney. Now we've clinton on t GB.
Speaker 2: It's seven past four. We've just received during the news
Speaker 2: a tip off from one of our listeners who has
Speaker 2: seen four police cars flying past them the Relan Road
Speaker 2: heading towards Campbelltown. An ambulance as well. We've just been
Speaker 2: in contact with the local police and the local police say, look,
Speaker 2: they can't say too much of the moment about what's happening,
Speaker 2: but they've directed us towards police headquarters. Headquarters tell us
Speaker 2: they'll provide us with a full statement of moment. So
Speaker 2: something is occurring in the Campbelltown region. If you know anything,
Speaker 2: let us know, give me a call now one three
Speaker 2: one eight seven three. So this is Norellan Road, Campbelltown.
Speaker 2: Four police cars. There is an ambulance involved as well.
Speaker 2: It looks like something is now unfolding. If you see something,
Speaker 2: if you know something, you can send me a text
Speaker 2: message as well. Zero force zero eight seven three eight
Speaker 2: seven to three. All lives will be on the Quarry
Speaker 2: Street Parliament House in State Politics to morrow because there
Speaker 2: could be unprecedented scenes and I'm not exaggerating of as
Speaker 2: many as five government staff being arrested. I'm serious. You
Speaker 2: may well have heard Ben talk to the Premier Chris
Speaker 2: Mins about this little earlier in the week. These five
Speaker 2: have been effectively summons to appear before a parliamentary inquiry,
Speaker 2: an Upper House inquiry. The inquiry is investigating the circumstances
Speaker 2: around the Dural caravan, the caravan that was found with
Speaker 2: explosives that Chris Min's at the time, and we took
Speaker 2: his press conference live on the show when this was
Speaker 2: all breaking. This was in January, where Chris Mins says
Speaker 2: this potentially could have been a mass terrorist event, a
Speaker 2: mass casualty event Well, it was later discovered and police
Speaker 2: had conducted their investigations that know that wasn't the case.
Speaker 2: This was effectively a setup by the criminal underworld. But
Speaker 2: Chris Mins's Premier had put warnings out there because of
Speaker 2: the fear about anti Semitism in Sydney's eastern suburbs in particular.
Speaker 2: This may well have been part of a terror plot.
Speaker 2: So there's a nupper House inquiry in state parlmer. Now,
Speaker 2: there are a lot of inquiries that occur in Parliament.
Speaker 2: Most of it is political with the opposition or the
Speaker 2: crossbenches trying to bash up the government or actually ascertain
Speaker 2: critical information about happenings in state politics. So they do
Speaker 2: play a role. I think there are too many inquiries
Speaker 2: in general, but they do play a role. What may
Speaker 2: transpire tomorrow is unprecedented. So just in the last half
Speaker 2: hour or so, I've been sent the witness list for
Speaker 2: the hearing tomorrow that is scheduled for the McQuary room
Speaker 2: in Parliament House. Now, you, as a member of the public,
Speaker 2: can actually turn up to Parliament tomorrow and people do
Speaker 2: this and sign in as a member of the public.
Speaker 2: This is how our democracy works and sit in the
Speaker 2: macquary room and watch this inquiry. The issue is going
Speaker 2: to be though the five witnesses who have been called
Speaker 2: they won't be appearing, so they have been summoned to
Speaker 2: a PEPO for the inquiry. It includes the chief of
Speaker 2: staff of Chris Mins. It includes his deputy chief of staff,
Speaker 2: his communications manager, but also two staff members including the
Speaker 2: chief of staff of the Police Minister Yasmin Catley. Now
Speaker 2: I've been doing a fair bit of digging on this
Speaker 2: one today to find out exactly what's going on here.
Speaker 2: If they do not appear at ten forty five tomorrow,
Speaker 2: there can be a process where they're arrested. No, this
Speaker 2: is not HARKing back to the times of Henry the
Speaker 2: Eighth that we know beheading of anybody, but there can
Speaker 2: be the prospect and this is what the push will
Speaker 2: be for for their arrests. And it would even could
Speaker 2: even go as far as the five people being kept
Speaker 2: in custody overnight or until there is another hearing of
Speaker 2: this particular inquiry to force them to give evidence. Mind you,
Speaker 2: they could turn up and just not open their mouths
Speaker 2: and just not answer questions. I guess what would it
Speaker 2: need to occur is the Speaker or the President of
Speaker 2: the Upper House is a gentleman by the name of
Speaker 2: Ben Franklin. Ben Franklin would have to go through a
Speaker 2: process of making an application by the Supreme Court for
Speaker 2: the arrests. But there are special constables, so there are
Speaker 2: police officers who are stationed at Parliament House. There are
Speaker 2: people who who could actually carry out the arrests in
Speaker 2: Parliament House. Of the five they wouldn't be held in
Speaker 2: a dungeon under Parliament House or anything. They'd be taken
Speaker 2: off to a local cop shop and held overnight, I'm
Speaker 2: being told, And that's because they're refusing to give evidence.
Speaker 2: But it's got to come from the President of the
Speaker 2: Upper House, Ben Franklin. And he then goes effectively seeking
Speaker 2: a Supreme Court order for the police at Parliament House
Speaker 2: to make the arrests. Here's the twist. Ben Franklin, very
Speaker 2: controversially was a President of the Upper House. He was
Speaker 2: member of the Nationals and the Nationals were outraged by
Speaker 2: this because they effectively lose a vote. Who appointed him
Speaker 2: the President of the Upper House? Well, the Labor government did.
Speaker 2: Ben Franklin, and this is on the public record. Is
Speaker 2: close He's considered a friend of the Premier, Chris Mins,
Speaker 2: So there's going to be a lot of pressure on
Speaker 2: Ben Franklin tomorrow. Will he do what the committee wants
Speaker 2: and force these five staff members to give evidence through
Speaker 2: asking for their arrest, or will he back his friend
Speaker 2: Chris Mins, who obviously does not want the staff to attend. Now,
Speaker 2: Chris Mins has spoken about this today during his daily
Speaker 2: press conference. He spoke about this with Ben Fordham on
Speaker 2: Tuesday and the Premier made it very clear he does
Speaker 2: not want the staff to attend, and in the words
Speaker 2: of one of my contacts in the government today says
Speaker 2: the Dural inquiry is a conspiracy theory freak show between
Speaker 2: Rob Roberts from police officer who is running the inquiry,
Speaker 2: the Greens and the Liberals. It's a conspiracy theory freak show.
Speaker 2: So the Premier does not want his staff to appear
Speaker 2: before this particular inquiry, so that they're unlikely to turn
Speaker 2: up at ten forty five tomorrow. So Ben Franklin's going
Speaker 2: to make a decision. Will he ask the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: to issue arrest warrants for these five staff members, maybe
Speaker 2: keep them in custody overnight, or will he side with
Speaker 2: the Premier. But he's the twist. If he sides with
Speaker 2: the Premier when Parliament resumes next week, the Upper House
Speaker 2: MPs could cause call out a no confidence motion and
Speaker 2: they then have the numbers against the government. They could
Speaker 2: have no confidence in Ben Franklin. Okay, you might think,
Speaker 2: so what, but that could mean that Ben Franklin loses
Speaker 2: his job. Now, Ben Franklin is on a good wicket.
Speaker 2: He's paid in excess I believe of three hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 2: and he has all the he has a special office,
Speaker 2: he has all the luxuries of being the President of
Speaker 2: the up House. So he's going to face a choice.
Speaker 2: Does he stick by the Premier and risk his job
Speaker 2: if there's a no confidence motion or does he order
Speaker 2: And this would be unprecedented the arrest of government staff
Speaker 2: members for not giving evidence to an inquiry. It's completely
Speaker 2: unheard of, and it might seem like a bunch of
Speaker 2: you know, the semantics that don't really matter, but it's
Speaker 2: quite unprecedented what's going on now. Somehow, I don't think
Speaker 2: it's going to come to all this tomorrow. It's going
Speaker 2: to be fascinating to watch. But the Premier himself, he
Speaker 2: is not. He can't be com held to appear for
Speaker 2: this inquiry. And the staff, the chief of staff of
Speaker 2: the Premier's Office, he has given evidence to these styles
Speaker 2: of inquiries before and it might just be a whole
Speaker 2: tactic to put Chris Min's in a position so he
Speaker 2: fronts up to this inquiry. Staff from the Premier's Office
Speaker 2: have actually regularly given evidence to these inquiries over the years,
Speaker 2: but they believe this one is more complicated. There's a
Speaker 2: dispute between the Lower House and the Upper House about
Speaker 2: the inquiry. There are issues before the Privileges Committee of Parliament.
Speaker 2: There's issues about whether this inquiry is justified at all.
Speaker 2: So it's a complete political mess. But the threat here
Speaker 2: is that there could be I shouldn't laugh because I
Speaker 2: know the people involved here, but they could be arrested
Speaker 2: and thrown in a prison cell, or there could be
Speaker 2: a vote of no conference in Ben Franklin, who then
Speaker 2: risks his job which pays more than three hundred thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a year.
Speaker 4: If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney
Speaker 4: Now with Clinton.
Speaker 2: On to gb Okay, let's find out if we can
Speaker 2: find discover what's happening in Campbelltown the Reland Road. We've
Speaker 2: seen police cars racing down Therellan Road in the last
Speaker 2: ten minutes or so. Wayne has a little bit more
Speaker 2: information for us, Salo. Wayne.
Speaker 12: Okay, mate, how are you good?
Speaker 2: What do you know?
Speaker 12: Okay? I just I just exited an Irellan Road southbound
Speaker 12: and in the northbound lanes in the breakdown bay, there
Speaker 12: was four police cars and two ambulances all with their
Speaker 12: lights on, and there was two highway patrol cars in
Speaker 12: the sense divide with their lights on, and the police
Speaker 12: stand and they look like they're waiting for somebody or something,
Speaker 12: but I don't know what, but they're all There was
Speaker 12: four cop cars and two ambulances in the breakdown bay
Speaker 12: and another two in the media industry, all waiting for somebody.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks that eyewitness report there. Wayne. David is also
Speaker 2: in the area. What have you seen, David?
Speaker 19: Yeah, I saw the same thing, mate, compending to some
Speaker 19: one in the back of the ambers that they had
Speaker 19: a bottleproof vest on and then there's two cop cars
Speaker 19: waiting for escorts.
Speaker 20: It said medical escort.
Speaker 2: The police you saw had bulletproof vests on.
Speaker 8: Yeah, leading into the back of the Airbo.
Speaker 2: Okay, would that would be the reason why the local
Speaker 2: police have referred us to police headquarters for an official statement. Steve,
Speaker 2: you have some information. What have you seen, Steve, I've
Speaker 2: got the same.
Speaker 20: Thing as them as I've never seen the urgent medical
Speaker 20: escort on police in the middle of the a leadiumship
Speaker 20: of HU Motorway.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks for letting us know about this. We will
Speaker 2: seek that information from police headquarters now about what's transpired
Speaker 2: because if there are a police who who are using
Speaker 2: bulletproof vests at the moment, obviously this is a deep concern.
Speaker 2: But this is an unfolding situation. Norell And Road Campbelltown. Certainly,
Speaker 2: if you can provide us with some information, send me
Speaker 2: a text message zero force of zero eight seven three
Speaker 2: eight seven three. More and more Australians are buying electric vehicles,
Speaker 2: whether you're a fan of them or not. There's going
Speaker 2: to be an issue about how our roads are funded
Speaker 2: in the future when the take up rate increases. As
Speaker 2: you realize you pay for the upkeep of our roads
Speaker 2: through fuel excise and registration and all the other taxes
Speaker 2: that we pay. But ev drivers well, they don't pay
Speaker 2: the same amount because they don't pay fuel excise. The
Speaker 2: Treasurer Jim Charmers, well, he's now coming around to the
Speaker 2: view that EV owners should be paying their fair share
Speaker 2: and he is suggesting a new rows who use a charge.
Speaker 2: Now New South Wales has been looking and introducing a
Speaker 2: tax by twenty twenty seven. Particularly i VV sales can
Speaker 2: increase to about thirty percent if it reaches and I
Speaker 2: think that's maybe about ten percent of the moment, but
Speaker 2: if we reach the level of thirty percent, it's going
Speaker 2: to have a big impact on the budget and New
Speaker 2: South Wales will have to act. There's a problem though,
Speaker 2: because there was taxes in Victoria that were introduced and
Speaker 2: they were knocked over by the High Court. The charge
Speaker 2: would potentially be based on how far you drive, So
Speaker 2: under this particular proposal, there'd be a charge of two
Speaker 2: point nine zero six cents per kilometer. So you were
Speaker 2: to drive say fifteen hundred k's a year, it'd be
Speaker 2: four hundred and thirty five dollars each year and the
Speaker 2: rate would increase with inflation. Now, the federal government is
Speaker 2: not finalized this because partly because Victoria has had the
Speaker 2: problems with the High Court. If you have an ev
Speaker 2: What do you think about that? Do you think that'd
Speaker 2: be fair if you do have to pay a charge?
Speaker 2: Trent nikolicch covers all motoring issues with us from drive
Speaker 2: dot com dot AU.
Speaker 21: Hello Trent, Hello mate, Good afternoon to your listeners as well.
Speaker 2: It has been on the agenda for some time, but
Speaker 2: this is really the first time the gym charmers, the
Speaker 2: federal Treasurer has come out and said, look, we need
Speaker 2: to do something. We do need a charge for EV drivers,
Speaker 2: don't we.
Speaker 21: Well absolutely, I mean it had to happen. You and
Speaker 21: I have been talking about it and your lists although
Speaker 21: that I've spoken about it before. And if the federal Minister,
Speaker 21: Chris Bowen is the one pushing everybody to buy evs
Speaker 21: and talking about how great they are, well, then the
Speaker 21: federal government, which collects the fuel excise, as you said,
Speaker 21: is going to need to come up with a way
Speaker 21: of ensuring that electric vehicles are using the roads.
Speaker 2: Fairly, because if you've got a hybrid at the moment,
Speaker 2: right so, toyoud has been very successful with hybrids. I
Speaker 2: think all of their passenger fleet to the moment, it's
Speaker 2: not a high lux, but the general passenger fleet. There
Speaker 2: are hybrids, you are still paying some excise, but not
Speaker 2: as much as other users.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 21: Absolutely, So if you're talking about a medium suv and
Speaker 21: one is hybrid and one is not, And just in
Speaker 21: case your listeners aren't aware, the fuel excise is around
Speaker 21: about fifty cents a liter, it's a lot, right, So
Speaker 21: it's a hell of a lot. It's between fifty and
Speaker 21: fifty one. If you're driving a regular suv and one
Speaker 21: is not hybrid and one is, the hybrid will use
Speaker 21: about half as much fuel to do the same job.
Speaker 21: So you are still paying fuel excise, but you're paying
Speaker 21: about half as much as a regular vehicle owner.
Speaker 2: Okay, so how do you believe this system should be
Speaker 2: going for going forward?
Speaker 21: Well, look, every time it's mentioned, there'll be the typical
Speaker 21: bleeding and whining from the EV Council and anybody who's
Speaker 21: an advocate for all of us to be driving electric vehicles.
Speaker 21: So let's just put all of that noise to one side,
Speaker 21: because you know, everybody knows that people who own electric
Speaker 21: vehicles have been getting a free ride since day one.
Speaker 21: The cars were subsidized to start with, and in many
Speaker 21: cases still were until recently. The charging was subsidized the
Speaker 21: infrastructure for the charging was paid for by somebody else,
Speaker 21: and in a lot of instances the charging was free.
Speaker 21: So if you put all of that to one side,
Speaker 21: the next thing that then comes up is a per
Speaker 21: kilometer charge. As you said, a lot of people say,
Speaker 21: and even I thought this in the beginning. I thought, well,
Speaker 21: that's going to penalize the people who live in the
Speaker 21: outer suburbs who have to travel long distances for work.
Speaker 21: But the unfortunate reality for those people, and in effect
Speaker 21: you and I are a bit like that, right, we
Speaker 21: don't live in the inner city, so all of us
Speaker 21: who have to travel a bit further, the unfortunate reality
Speaker 21: is we're already being penalized because we use more fuel
Speaker 21: and therefore we pay more fuel excise. So you know,
Speaker 21: the number for the average Australian at the moment is
Speaker 21: somewhere around two and a half or three thousand bucks
Speaker 21: a year. You're paying in fuel excise as part of
Speaker 21: your fuel use. So I think it's the number landed
Speaker 21: around about that for the average distance traveled.
Speaker 12: I think that's fair.
Speaker 2: EV's sales of EVS and Europe of plat ode in Australia,
Speaker 2: it's probably a little slow than it was. You review
Speaker 2: evs all the time, you're on anti electric vehicle. Do
Speaker 2: you think that the take up rate is going to
Speaker 2: keep slowing or do you think there'll be a change.
Speaker 21: I think we've reached a really interesting point. Plug in
Speaker 21: hybrids and hybrids have gone through the roof in terms
Speaker 21: of sales, and electric vehicles have plateaued or gone backward
Speaker 21: a little bit. I think last year the number was
Speaker 21: just rounded out at just over six percent. The year
Speaker 21: before it was just over eight percent in Australia new
Speaker 21: vehicle sales. I think the problem that you've got clinton
Speaker 21: and again, the example I use all the time is
Speaker 21: a Porsche nine to eleven is a fantastic car, but
Speaker 21: not for everybody and not for every driving discipline. Therefore,
Speaker 21: I don't recommend that everybody go out and try and
Speaker 21: buy a Porsche nine to eleven. Now, obviously that's an
Speaker 21: outlandish example, but an electric vehicles the same. There's a
Speaker 21: lot of things that it doesn't do well. There are
Speaker 21: plenty of things that it does very well. So I
Speaker 21: think for those of you who live in the city,
Speaker 21: who don't travel long distances, who don't go four wheel
Speaker 21: driving or toe caravans or use your vehicle for work
Speaker 21: for long distance driving, then you should absolutely consider an
Speaker 21: EV if you can afford it. But I think what's
Speaker 21: happened is a lot of Australians Clinton have sort of
Speaker 21: really thought about it over the last twelve to eighteen
Speaker 21: months and thought, you know what, an electric vehicle doesn't
Speaker 21: actually do exactly what I need my car to do
Speaker 21: right now, and therefore I can't buy one.
Speaker 2: It's all about balance. Thank you, Trent, Thank you mate,
Speaker 2: Trent nickoltriendrive dot com dot Au've got a view and
Speaker 2: maybe you're an owner of an EV. How do you
Speaker 2: think we should proceed with this because we still need
Speaker 2: to be able to fund the roads. Let me know
Speaker 2: one three one eight seven three. There is an unfolding
Speaker 2: situation in the Campbelltown area. So as we've been reporting
Speaker 2: with your help this afternoon, up to four to five
Speaker 2: police vehicles on Norellan Road along with ambulance officers that
Speaker 2: are attending to a particular event there. Now what it
Speaker 2: looks like based on what you're telling and we are
Speaker 2: seeking a formal statement from the police at the moment,
Speaker 2: is somebody is being loaded into the back of an
Speaker 2: ambulance that the paramedics are being assisted by police who
Speaker 2: are wearing bulletproof fists. The information is very scant at
Speaker 2: the moment. This is on Norellan Road near the Hume Highway,
Speaker 2: so it must just be at the intersection of the
Speaker 2: on ramps there. There are some roads blocked off in
Speaker 2: that region as well. When I get some more information formally,
Speaker 2: i'll bring this to you. But this is Norellan Road
Speaker 2: heading into Hume Highway, so there is a police operation
Speaker 2: unfolding right at the moment. Now I'm getting some more
Speaker 2: information about what's going to occur at Parlman House tomorrow
Speaker 2: with this suggestion that as many as five government staffers
Speaker 2: could be arrested, and it seems a little far fetched,
Speaker 2: but this is going to play out tomorrow morning, five
Speaker 2: government staffers who've been called to give evidence to the
Speaker 2: inquiry into the dual caravan issue. And the staff members
Speaker 2: won't be giving evidence. Now I've been told with this
Speaker 2: suggestion of being arrested, they wouldn't be put in jail,
Speaker 2: for instance, they'd be held at Parliament House, so they'd
Speaker 2: probably be told to stay in your offices while we
Speaker 2: sought this out. But I've also just been sent some
Speaker 2: details of legislation, so, for instance, the penalty refusing to
Speaker 2: answer questions before one of these inquiries. If any witnesses
Speaker 2: refuse to answer any lawful question during the witnesses examination,
Speaker 2: so this is if they actually appear, the witness shall
Speaker 2: be deemed guilty of contempt of Parliament and may be
Speaker 2: forthwith committed for such an defense into custody of the
Speaker 2: Usher of the black Rod or Sergeant at Arms, So
Speaker 2: that would indicate the Usher of the black Rod bloke
Speaker 2: who runs the Upper House Parliament. He then confine that
Speaker 2: person who didn't give the evidence to a particular room
Speaker 2: at Parliament House. However, the legislation goes on to say
Speaker 2: if the House so order to jail for any period
Speaker 2: not exceeding one calendar month by warrant under the hand
Speaker 2: of the Speaker or the President. I don't think anyone's
Speaker 2: going to be sent to jail for a month over this,
Speaker 2: but it's going to be a fight the next twenty
Speaker 2: four hours. The unfolding situation in Campbelltown, Norell Road, just
Speaker 2: near the Hume Highway. We've had reports of as many
Speaker 2: as five six police cars, several ambulances, somebody being loaded
Speaker 2: into the back of one of those ambulances by police
Speaker 2: wearing bulletproof vests. John's just sent me a message. He
Speaker 2: says he's seen eight police cars escorting two ambulances on
Speaker 2: Moorbank Avenue to Liverpool Hospital. That may well be related
Speaker 2: to the incident from Campbelltown. We are now hearing from
Speaker 2: multiple sources. We are still to get confirmation from the police.
Speaker 2: But there is an investigation into a shooting at the
Speaker 2: Elderly caravan park, so that's near Camden So further south.
Speaker 2: We are seeking confirmation at the moment from the police
Speaker 2: at what is exactly happening. Let's check out his headlines.
Speaker 2: Now we've got the latest.
Speaker 11: Katie Fuller, Good afternoon, Clinton. As you've been saying, it's
Speaker 11: understood a man has been shot by police in a
Speaker 11: caravan park at Elderly in Sydney's southwest. Heavily armed police
Speaker 11: are on scene. CEB resident so being worn to be
Speaker 11: on alert for symptoms of Legionnaire's disease. There's been an
Speaker 11: outbreak at Pott's Point. New South Wales Health is investigating
Speaker 11: to find this source. The sole survivor of the Air
Speaker 11: India plane crash, who's farewelled his brother who was killed
Speaker 11: in the crash. He was discharged from hospital a few
Speaker 11: days ago and helped carry the coffin at his funeral.
Speaker 11: And two lifelong sweethearts from Newcastle have been recognized as
Speaker 11: the nation's longest married couple. Delma and Frank Murray tied
Speaker 11: the not eighty years ago. In Sport, a tennis fan
Speaker 11: has luckily avoided serious injury after being struck by a
Speaker 11: falling advertising banner at a tournament in Germany. The sixty
Speaker 11: two year old woman was handed an ice pack by
Speaker 11: local hero Alexander Zerev before going to hospital for further tests.
Speaker 11: Clinton More News at five.
Speaker 2: K Katie fifteen degrees in the city, thirteen degrees at
Speaker 2: Terry Hills. At the moment of a message from one
Speaker 2: of our listeners, the police convoy has just gone past
Speaker 2: Liverpool Station, the train station. They're heading towards the hospital,
Speaker 2: so they'd be at the hospital now. So, as Katie
Speaker 2: just mentioned in the news, reports that police have been
Speaker 2: involved in a shooting at the Elderly Caravan Park, which
Speaker 2: is near Camden. We are seeking confirmation from the police
Speaker 2: about what exactly has transpired, but we've had eyewitness reports
Speaker 2: of somebody being loaded into the back of an ambulance
Speaker 2: on the Reland Road, so not far from Campbelltown. The
Speaker 2: police were wearing bulletproof vests, so we will find out
Speaker 2: exactly what's happening from the police shortly. But would appear
Speaker 2: that somebody is now being taken to Liverpool Hospital under
Speaker 2: a police convoy. On evs, electric vehicles, how should they
Speaker 2: be taxed? How should the driver of an EV contribute
Speaker 2: to road maintenance costs? Ricks in Lagano? Good afternoon, Rick.
Speaker 19: Quinn, Yeah, a good afternoon, great mate, haven't got missing
Speaker 19: as exciting as you're breaking news, but just on the
Speaker 19: road user costs for electric vehicles. They charged seventy eight
Speaker 19: dollars one thousand kilometers for a full EV and they
Speaker 19: charged thirty eight dollars a thousand kilometers for a pH EV.
Speaker 2: And so how is I wonder how that's governed? Do
Speaker 2: you your self? I just wonder how they's governed. Does
Speaker 2: the driver of the EV self report how.
Speaker 1: Far they go?
Speaker 19: They got to buy a voucher and it's got to
Speaker 19: be displayed on the wind screen, and if they're pulled up,
Speaker 19: it doesn't comply or match their fined.
Speaker 2: Okay, Thanks for that information, Jason. What's your thought on
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 22: Jason, just about the governing that what my idea was,
Speaker 22: we've got to as a petrol car every five years,
Speaker 22: we've got to get a pink slip. So why don't
Speaker 22: we have a safety check for all the evs and
Speaker 22: our hybrids every year and then they record the kilometers
Speaker 22: after that and then charged a certain amount.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because at once it's it's the first five is
Speaker 2: it the first five years or three years of car
Speaker 2: ownership that you don't actually require inspection five years I'm
Speaker 2: getting mined Une to morrow.
Speaker 22: Yeah, been at Lithian Battery with the evs. Wouldn't they
Speaker 22: have to be checked as a safety each year just
Speaker 22: so they can record the kilometers down and then after
Speaker 22: that's done it's been posted in the mail. How much
Speaker 22: they got to pay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that may be one way to deal with it.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Jason. Rod is an EV and Rod makes
Speaker 2: a point here on the text line, how about those
Speaker 2: with internal combustion engine cars? How about attacks for the
Speaker 2: carbon emissions produced? Well? Our politicians over the years, Rod
Speaker 2: have certainly promised no carbon tax. Straight shooters coming up
Speaker 2: with David Elliott in a moment, we are just piecing
Speaker 2: together exactly what's transpired in Camden and Norellan over the
Speaker 2: past half hour or so. I'm looking at live video
Speaker 2: that's coming in from the Channel nine helicopter of the
Speaker 2: Elderly caravan Park which is in Camden, so i can
Speaker 2: see there's a police car and there's another emergency surfers
Speaker 2: vehicle at this particular Carr Park. Now our understanding is
Speaker 2: a man has been shot by the police and likely
Speaker 2: that man has now been taken to Liverpool Hospital. So
Speaker 2: there's then been a situation nearby Norelln Road where a
Speaker 2: man has been seen by our listeners being loaded into
Speaker 2: the back of an ambulance but assisted by police. With
Speaker 2: the paramedics than the police were wearing wearing armored vests,
Speaker 2: bulletproof vests. So we still don't have official confirmation from
Speaker 2: the police about what has transpired in the past half
Speaker 2: an hour or so, but certainly there has been it
Speaker 2: his I'm looking at live pictures at the moment of
Speaker 2: the caravan park. There's been a shooting at a caravan
Speaker 2: park where it would appear that police have shot somebody
Speaker 2: in this caravan park. We don't know the circumstances surrounding that.
Speaker 2: From what you've told me, you've seen a police convoy
Speaker 2: heading back towards Liverpool to Liverpool Hospital. Will bring you
Speaker 2: more information as it comes to hand on Sydney.
Speaker 1: Now you trans handle the truth the street steam well.
Speaker 2: The former Policemani's David Elliott joins me at this time
Speaker 2: every day and David, you can see the vision that
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the moment of the caravan park, which
Speaker 2: it's difficult to ascertain exactly what's transpired, but this does
Speaker 2: demonstrate that the dangers that police confront almost every day.
Speaker 23: Well, that's right, and we're very very unusual in this
Speaker 23: date to see police actually draw their weapons, let alone
Speaker 23: use it. It does happen, obviously, but not compared to a
Speaker 23: lot of other jurisdictions, both here and overseas. And by
Speaker 23: the looks of it, that's a Camden patrol car with
Speaker 23: the command vehicle from New Southwales Police and I think
Speaker 23: that you'll probably have a critical incident team there as
Speaker 23: well as a debriefing of the poor officer who's had
Speaker 23: to use that firearm.
Speaker 2: So the critical incident is always called whenever the police
Speaker 2: open fire, and this circumstances. Automatically it's deemed a critical incident. Yep, Okay,
Speaker 2: Now I can see the vision I'm looking at the
Speaker 2: moment it is focusing on. When I say it's a
Speaker 2: caravan park. This features some of those those temporary on
Speaker 2: site vans. There is police tape that's now wrapped around
Speaker 2: one of those on site vans, and I'm looking from
Speaker 2: the Channe nine helicopter at the moment, so it would
Speaker 2: appear that the incident has occurred around that on site van.
Speaker 2: We don't know whether it was inside the mobile home
Speaker 2: or on the grounds of the caravan, but our understanding
Speaker 2: is the person who has been shot is now in
Speaker 2: Liverpool Hospital. Now your stomping ground and Macquarie Street. Indeed,
Speaker 2: we are seeing some unprecedented action transpiring at the moment,
Speaker 2: and I am being sent messages from all sides of politics.
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to know exactly what the rules are
Speaker 2: when it comes to somebody who is summons to appear
Speaker 2: before an Upper House inquiry. What we do know, and
Speaker 2: this all relates to the inquiry into the Dural caravan
Speaker 2: that was packed full of explosives. What we do know
Speaker 2: is a Lower House MP such as a premier or
Speaker 2: a police minister is not compelled to appear before these inquiries,
Speaker 2: so Chris Mins does not have to appear.
Speaker 23: Correct based on the principle that the premier and ministers
Speaker 23: have to respond or certainly reply to any questions in
Speaker 23: question time and then of course twice a year they go,
Speaker 23: if not more, they go before Estimates Committee. Now having
Speaker 23: said all of that, they don't even have to answer
Speaker 23: questions in question time. We used to say it's a
Speaker 23: question time, not answer time. And in the and An
Speaker 23: Estimates Committee you can put everything on notice. And I
Speaker 23: think this year Michael Michael Daily put a record number
Speaker 23: of questions onto notice. But I think what we're seeing
Speaker 23: here Clinton is a dangerous precedence being set. I think
Speaker 23: that the requests from the Parliament to subpoena and therefore
Speaker 23: threaten the arrest of staffers is dangerous. And I say
Speaker 23: that because staffers, parliamentary staff as political staff, as ministerial
Speaker 23: staffers are often exposed, well, are exposed to all the
Speaker 23: information that a minister is except what is debated in cabinet.
Speaker 23: But most debates in cabinet only occur on the back
Speaker 23: of a briefing center and advice that have been received.
Speaker 23: Sometimes the stuff has learned more than the minister and
Speaker 23: they don't ask for that information. It's part of their job.
Speaker 23: Their job is to comply with providing their job description,
Speaker 23: which says that they have to provide full and frank
Speaker 23: and fearless advice. So my appeal to the Upper House
Speaker 23: is be careful of the precedents that you set, because
Speaker 23: often they come back to bite you.
Speaker 2: Is there going to be a conflict of interest though?
Speaker 2: For the President Ben Franklin, So he would actually have
Speaker 2: to take the action to seek the arrests because he
Speaker 2: is close to Chris Mins. That's on the public record.
Speaker 2: If there was a vote of no confidence in him,
Speaker 2: if he doesn't take that action, would he put his
Speaker 2: job in jeopardy? Well, he probably could.
Speaker 23: I mean he puts his job in a jeputy in
Speaker 23: every decision that he makes, because you can dissent a
Speaker 23: chair's decision anytime you like in Parliament. I know Ben
Speaker 23: enough to have a faith in his decision making process.
Speaker 23: There's things that I haven't liked him do that he's done.
Speaker 23: There's things that I endorsed that have done, But he
Speaker 23: does risk having the Chamber move a motion of no confidence.
Speaker 2: In him, of getting messages from Nationals at the moment
Speaker 2: they're not happy.
Speaker 23: Well, they haven't been happy since he took the big
Speaker 23: chair in the job, so that doesn't surprise me. But
Speaker 23: I think that if he does something that is that
Speaker 23: is inconsistent with the will of the House, he risks
Speaker 23: having a motion of no confidence moved against him, and
Speaker 23: he'd probably have to step down, if not legally, have
Speaker 23: to step down.
Speaker 2: Which then means he loses the which.
Speaker 23: Benefit loses the position of President of the Upper House,
Speaker 23: which from what I could remember is one of the
Speaker 23: most is one of the lucrative ones.
Speaker 2: Well, he gets a lovely office.
Speaker 23: Lovely office, lovely Sarry Carr met the King, Yes, met
Speaker 23: the King as well. But it's not an easy job either,
Speaker 23: being the presiding office, particularly in a house where one
Speaker 23: political party doesn't have the majority.
Speaker 2: I reckon this is all just a political move to
Speaker 2: try to put pressure on Chris Mins to appear that
Speaker 2: he in the end won't want his staffed to he
Speaker 2: put in this position. He'll just front up himself.
Speaker 21: No.
Speaker 23: I think Chris's argument is the argument that every premier, Liberal,
Speaker 23: Labor and Calithumpian have moved have used since time immemorial.
Speaker 23: I answer questions in question time. It's you know, in
Speaker 23: the United Kingdom it's called the Prime Minister's question time.
Speaker 23: We just call it question time. He does, and he
Speaker 23: answers questions in press conferences, and he answers questions and
Speaker 23: estimates committee. So I actually have a bit of sympathy
Speaker 23: for him in his decision not to appear. But this
Speaker 23: is a very very awkward situation. I know, I can
Speaker 23: tell you, I can confirm that the police were very
Speaker 23: suspicious about the durl so called hoax terrorism. I'm nervous
Speaker 23: about the using the word hoax terrorism because all terrorism,
Speaker 23: if it creates fear, whether it's real or not, is terrorism.
Speaker 2: Christmas rightly has pointed out he said this to Ben
Speaker 2: this He said at the time that the Jewish community
Speaker 2: in the Eastern suburbs were still terrified. That's rights right.
Speaker 23: It's like intimidation. You know, if I say to you,
Speaker 23: I'm intimidated, even though if you don't believe you are
Speaker 23: intimidating me. We have to accept the fact that I
Speaker 23: feel intimidated and terror John Howard said the time and
Speaker 23: time again, if you change your lifestyle, if you're if
Speaker 23: your anxiety levels are influenced by terror, then you're a
Speaker 23: victim of terror.
Speaker 2: Coming up half the news, I'm going to talk to
Speaker 2: an Australian man who's flown back into Australia's day from Israel.
Speaker 2: He's one of the Australians who's managed to get out.
Speaker 2: Social media is very much changing the way where we're
Speaker 2: being informed about this particular event.
Speaker 23: And similars I can't believe Clinton looking at the social
Speaker 23: media that's coming out of the anti Israel movement and
Speaker 23: that they think that we believe it for a start
Speaker 23: is amazing. But there are people out there that do
Speaker 23: believe it, and they're using artificial intelligence to create what
Speaker 23: looks like a legitimate story, and that should be a
Speaker 23: concern to the mass media. It should be concerned to
Speaker 23: the mainstream media. And I think, I mean, I was
Speaker 23: actually with the Israeli Trade Commission this afternoon for a
Speaker 23: meeting regarding engineering and infrastructure and we had to chat
Speaker 23: about it, and I said, they said to me, what
Speaker 23: do we believe? And I said, you don't believe anything
Speaker 23: at the moment. You just do not believe anything at
Speaker 23: the moment. I think governments, our education institutions, the media.
Speaker 23: I think we have to start thinking.
Speaker 1: About with that.
Speaker 23: We're never going to be able to regulate artificial intelligence.
Speaker 23: We're never going to be able to regulate social media
Speaker 23: to the extent that it probably should be. But we
Speaker 23: need to make sure everybody is aware that you have
Speaker 23: to fact check everything because this does influence public opinion,
Speaker 23: and public opinions influences decisions by government, if not governments themselves.
Speaker 2: It's going to be very confusing in the future, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Managing life?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 23: I mean, you and I have a laugh that we're lucky.
Speaker 23: We wouldn't be where we are today if they had
Speaker 23: social media when we were teenagers, because you know, they
Speaker 23: have too much evidence against me. But I am also
Speaker 23: concerned that my children are going to be making decisions
Speaker 23: on on just information or stories that have been made up.
Speaker 2: What a lighter note. The new Southwaires government announced a
Speaker 2: couple of days ago they're going to invest more money
Speaker 2: in the film industry, with the plan for a second
Speaker 2: big studio in Sydney. Does raise the question, what's the
Speaker 2: best Dozsie movie ever made?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 23: Ben Englisch has got me exploring that He's had me
Speaker 23: exploring that all this week, and good on Chris Mins
Speaker 23: and and John Graham for that hundred million dollars. It's
Speaker 23: and as my Indian made says me, a billion Bollywood
Speaker 23: fans can't be wrong, you know, working putting money into
Speaker 23: the film industry is good for our tourism. It's good
Speaker 23: for the arts fraternity. But yes, ben I had me
Speaker 23: this week interviewing the great and good of Sydney and
Speaker 23: I spoke to a dozen people, Archbishop Fisher and Government House,
Speaker 23: the Premier himself, the opposition leader Mark Speakman. I spoke
Speaker 23: to Paul Nicholau. I spoke to Lady Elliott. I spoke
Speaker 23: to Susan Lee. I spoke to Natalie Wood and I
Speaker 23: got the list justin Hem's. Of course, I got the
Speaker 23: list of their favorite movies and we've we've cracked it
Speaker 23: down to nine. And of course you know, Nichols is
Speaker 23: a romantic movie about a very pretty girl whose father
Speaker 23: opposed her relationship with a rowdy fortune seeker until he
Speaker 23: had proven himself. So it imitates life that in that.
Speaker 2: Case, Crocodile Dundee I reckon kakodad.
Speaker 23: Gets to mention, I went to you by who but
Speaker 23: the largest grossing movie Australia has ever produced. And I
Speaker 23: think you know, we could never be able to ascertain
Speaker 23: how much money that movie made for Australian tourism. But
Speaker 23: the funniest is justin hems, you've got to be able
Speaker 23: to read why he believes that movie was his favorite.
Speaker 23: And I was really impressed. And of course Mark Speakman,
Speaker 23: being a lawyer, gave a movie about I offered up
Speaker 23: a movie about the legal fraternity, which I'm sure you'll
Speaker 23: be able to guess now and then. And the premiere
Speaker 23: is one really impressed me. And the reasons why he
Speaker 23: supported it was great.
Speaker 2: We can read that tomorrow on the Telegraph. Thanks David.
Speaker 2: Thank you, David Elliott, our straight shooter for a Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 2: It's two to five. More details now merging about what's
Speaker 2: been unfolding in Elderly So in the MacArthur region at
Speaker 2: a caravan park this afternoon. So we do know that
Speaker 2: police have shot a man. That man has been taken
Speaker 2: under police escort to Liverpool Hospital where we understand he's
Speaker 2: now being treated. The telegraphers reporting the police were called
Speaker 2: to that caravan park to reports of a man threatening
Speaker 2: self harm. He was armed with a knife. The area
Speaker 2: had been locked down. Residents were told to stay indoors.
Speaker 2: The Right Squad has then been deployed and I've seen
Speaker 2: some now vision Cursey a Channel nine of Right Squad
Speaker 2: police from a little earlier at the caravan park. Then
Speaker 2: around four o'clock there are reports of shots being fired
Speaker 2: by police. The armed person reportedly lunged at the police.
Speaker 2: That person was then treated by paramedics has then been
Speaker 2: taken a hospital under police escort. I also have a
Speaker 2: message here. This is a message was sent to people
Speaker 2: who are actually staying at the caravan park. And when
Speaker 2: I say caravan park, there are caravans there, but with
Speaker 2: a lot of on site vans, so people who would
Speaker 2: spend a lot of time at the park. And the
Speaker 2: message says it's from the Poplar Tourist Park. As you
Speaker 2: may be a where there's currently an incident within the park,
Speaker 2: please be advised that access to your cabin and your
Speaker 2: caravan space is temporarily restricted. A gazebo has been set
Speaker 2: up in the barbecue area for your convenience. We encourage
Speaker 2: you to make use of this space during time. Will
Speaker 2: continue to provide you with updates as they come to hand.
Speaker 2: So this will continue to revolve over the next half
Speaker 2: hour or so. The police are yet to make a
Speaker 2: formal statement about exactly what has transpired, but we do
Speaker 2: know a man has been shot after an incident that
Speaker 2: involved the police. Rights squad been called to this particular
Speaker 2: caravan park in Elderly a little earlier this afternoon and
Speaker 2: a critical incident will be called.
Speaker 4: If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney
Speaker 4: Now with Clinton Maynard on to GB.
Speaker 2: A busy final hout of the program coming up as well.
Speaker 2: I'm going to cross to an Australian man who's flown
Speaker 2: back in to Australia to day from Israel. There are
Speaker 2: now three thousand Aussies who've registered for government assistants to
Speaker 2: try to get out of Israel. That's not going to
Speaker 2: be a special flight for instance, that's going to be
Speaker 2: bus trips across the border. I'll also give the chance
Speaker 2: to win when we spin two GB's Winter Wheel.
Speaker 4: There is Sydney Now with Clinton on TGB.
Speaker 2: Great new with you this Thursday evening one three one
Speaker 2: eight seven three is our number now. Situation continue and
Speaker 2: evolve in Sydney Southwest this afternoon where there has been
Speaker 2: a shooting. There was a siege within a caravan park
Speaker 2: Eldersly in the mccarthurage, not far from Camden. It started
Speaker 2: just after lunchtime and it has gone for some hours.
Speaker 2: The police Riots squad was actually called in and they
Speaker 2: surrounded the perimeter of where a particular caravan was located
Speaker 2: within that park. And I've been looking at some vision
Speaker 2: of the caravan park. There's a lot of on site
Speaker 2: bands there where people effectively almost live most of the
Speaker 2: year and the police have been involved in a conference
Speaker 2: with a man who we understand was armed with a knife.
Speaker 2: He had been threatening self harm just after four o'clock,
Speaker 2: so it's only around an hour ago shots rung out.
Speaker 2: Now our understanding is that it's alleged the man had
Speaker 2: lunged at police with that knife and the police had
Speaker 2: opened fire. I'm hearing as many as three shots had
Speaker 2: been fired towards the man. Now he has then been
Speaker 2: taken to hospital. There's been a police convoy all the
Speaker 2: way to Liverpool Hospital from this caravan park in Elderly
Speaker 2: and the man is now being treated in hospital. We
Speaker 2: don't have details of his condition. We are still seeking
Speaker 2: a formal response from the police, but the police have
Speaker 2: given us some basic information about what has occurred. Actually,
Speaker 2: I've just been sent some details right now now. This
Speaker 2: is formally from the police. Critical insolent declared after man's
Speaker 2: shot by police and I'm just reading this to you
Speaker 2: as it comes to me. This says a critical incident
Speaker 2: investigation has been declared after man was shot by police
Speaker 2: during a siege in Sydney, Southwest. At twelve fifteen, police
Speaker 2: were called to a caravan park MacArthur Road at Elderly
Speaker 2: to check on the welfare of an occupant. Officers from
Speaker 2: Camden Police Area Command attended a cabin at the property.
Speaker 2: They attempted to speak to a fifty two year old man.
Speaker 2: A perimeter was established after the man armed himself with
Speaker 2: a knife and made threats to self harm. Specialist resources
Speaker 2: attended to assist. Negotiators attended to speak to the man.
Speaker 2: The man refused to cooperate. Just before three point thirty,
Speaker 2: officers attached to the Tactical Operations Unit gained entry to
Speaker 2: the premises and the armed man rushed officers with a knife.
Speaker 2: Police discharged a taser and the less than lethal tactical rounds,
Speaker 2: which were ineffective before the man was shot. The man
Speaker 2: was immediately treated by New South Wales Ambulance paramedics on
Speaker 2: the scene taken to Liverpool Hospital Critical. A Critical Incident
Speaker 2: Team from the state's Crime Commands Homicide Squad will lead
Speaker 2: the investigation of the circumstances surrounding the incident. The investigation
Speaker 2: will be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command and overse
Speaker 2: by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission. So that's the extent
Speaker 2: of the official police statement. So just to confirm what occurred.
Speaker 2: About lunchtime, police are called to the caravan park elders Lee,
Speaker 2: MacArthur Rowe, so it's around the Camden area. The local
Speaker 2: police were told to check on the welfare of a
Speaker 2: man of fifty two year old man inside that particular cabin.
Speaker 2: It's an on site cabin. He has then, in the
Speaker 2: course of trying to speak with this man, he didn't
Speaker 2: cooperate with the police. He has then lunged at them
Speaker 2: with a knife. Police actually brought in the Tactical Operations Unit,
Speaker 2: so effectively police with heavily the riot gear police and
Speaker 2: now during this confrontation police use the taser. They've discharged
Speaker 2: the taser that has not been effective, so they have
Speaker 2: opened fire. The man's been treated on the scene by paramedics.
Speaker 2: He's been taken to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition
Speaker 2: where he remains.
Speaker 1: Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard.
Speaker 4: If it's happening in your sitting, you'll hear it on
Speaker 4: Sydney Now to.
Speaker 2: GB ten past five developments in the Middle East, the
Speaker 2: conflict between Israel and Iran. There are lots of reports
Speaker 2: about the position of Donald Trump this afternoon. There are
Speaker 2: some suggestions that effectively he's he's given the ok for
Speaker 2: US involvement in the operations against Iran, but he hasn't
Speaker 2: physically signed off on that involvement. He was asked about
Speaker 2: this by reporters this morning.
Speaker 6: You even to answered questions about whether you are moving
Speaker 6: closer you believe the US is moving closer to striking
Speaker 6: Iranian nuclear facilities. Where's your mindset on that You're going to.
Speaker 1: Show that right?
Speaker 7: You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question?
Speaker 7: Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? And what time exactly,
Speaker 7: Sir sir would you strike it? Would you please inform
Speaker 7: her so we can be there and watch. You don't
Speaker 7: know that I'm going to even do it? You don't know.
Speaker 1: I may do it, I may not do it.
Speaker 7: I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 1: I can tell you this is that.
Speaker 7: Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate.
Speaker 7: And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before
Speaker 7: all this death and destruction? Why didn't you ago? I
Speaker 7: said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me
Speaker 7: two weeks ago? You could have done fine, you would
Speaker 7: have out a country.
Speaker 2: So Donald Trump there says, look, nobody knows what I'm
Speaker 2: going to do. In the end, he is the commander
Speaker 2: in chief. He is the one who will decide what
Speaker 2: to do. Now, almost three hundred, almost three thousand Australians
Speaker 2: have now registered to be evacuated out of Israel and Iran.
Speaker 2: The Foreign Minister Penny Wong has issued a warning today
Speaker 2: saying this is going to be very difficult for the
Speaker 2: government itself to assist people. They are bussing Australians across borders,
Speaker 2: so there's no formal Australian flight that's been authorized at
Speaker 2: this point. Australians are returning home. I want to introduce
Speaker 2: you to a two GB listener. His name is James,
Speaker 2: and he has managed to come back here and things
Speaker 2: were looking pretty grim. Thanks for your time, James.
Speaker 5: Okay, A Clinton, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm okay, but but how are you going? How are
Speaker 2: you feeling after you you've been through what you've experienced.
Speaker 1: I'm good, Thank you.
Speaker 16: I'm just very relieved to be home, to be back
Speaker 16: on Australian soil. I was evacuated from Israel first thing
Speaker 16: Saturday morning, so I was evacuated very early, and I
Speaker 16: need to thank my amazing boss, Gina ryan Hart, for
Speaker 16: arranging that. I was evacuated to Jordan that morning and
Speaker 16: then attempted to fly home from Jordan that night. All
Speaker 16: of the flights were canceled due to missile fire overhead
Speaker 16: at the airport which was being intercepted, so I had
Speaker 16: to wait another day or two to come home, but
Speaker 16: very thankful to be home. It was a very nerve
Speaker 16: wracking and intense time to be in Israel, and it's
Speaker 16: just it's great to be back in Australia.
Speaker 2: Whereabouts in Israel were you and what were you doing there?
Speaker 16: I was over in Israel on an official delegation with
Speaker 16: the Israeli embassy, so it was a few delegations. At
Speaker 16: the time, I was on a political one with other
Speaker 16: political representatives from both the Labor part in the Liverpool Party.
Speaker 5: And we were touring around Israel.
Speaker 16: We were very fortunate to see a number of sites
Speaker 16: that a lot of people don't get access to, which
Speaker 16: were very very moving in sad sites, especially the October
Speaker 16: seven ones. We went to the Nova music festival. We
Speaker 16: went to Kabutz Bairi, which was the Kibutz which suffer
Speaker 16: the largest death toll and where the Australian died on
Speaker 16: October seventh. We went up to Haifa, which is the
Speaker 16: port city.
Speaker 1: We went to Bershiva, which is in the middle.
Speaker 16: Of Israel, where I see a missile has just struck
Speaker 16: the hospital there in about ten minutes. Down the road
Speaker 16: is the Anzac Memorial which we visited, as well as Jerusalem,
Speaker 16: the Kinnesse at Israel's parliament, and then also to tell Aviv,
Speaker 16: where we were when the offensive against the Iranian nuclear
Speaker 16: assets was launched. So yeah, we got around the country.
Speaker 16: We've got to see a lot of the country, but
Speaker 16: unfortunately our trip was cut short and he was very
Speaker 16: nerve wracking time.
Speaker 2: You mentioned that you do work for Gina Reinhart, so
Speaker 2: she was able to assist you getting home. How complicated
Speaker 2: is it to leave and obviously not everybody has access
Speaker 2: maybe to the assistance you had.
Speaker 16: Yeah, look, it was very difficult to leave because people
Speaker 16: were unsure about the circumstances. I first contacted the Australian embassy.
Speaker 16: They weren't they advised, They weren't doing evacuations straight away
Speaker 16: or taking names for people to be evacuated, which I
Speaker 16: thought was concerning. So I was very full to the
Speaker 16: gener around how it helped arrange my evacuation. We actually
Speaker 16: tried to evacuate multiple people, but due to the capacity
Speaker 16: constraints and the war just happening, there wasn't enough room.
Speaker 16: But I was able to evacuate the rest of my
Speaker 16: group has also been evacuated. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign
Speaker 16: Affairs was able to evacuate them to Jordan, to London
Speaker 16: and then to Australia.
Speaker 5: So it was quite a journey.
Speaker 16: I had to drive four hours through Israel down to
Speaker 16: the border crossing with Jordan, across the border, and then
Speaker 16: drive another four hours up to a man But thankfully
Speaker 16: everyone on my tour and other tours as well, have
Speaker 16: now been evacuated in the process of evacuation, but very
Speaker 16: difficult times because also when you are evacuating, you're not
Speaker 16: close to a protected era of protected space. You're on
Speaker 16: the road, so it is a nerve wracking time driving
Speaker 16: through the roads.
Speaker 2: You were you fraughtened.
Speaker 16: I was nervous because there was nowhere to run if
Speaker 16: there was ballistic missile fire, rocket fire.
Speaker 19: The advice was just.
Speaker 16: To lay along the ground. But thankfully the security team
Speaker 16: arranged the evacuation for the time in which they thought
Speaker 16: there was not going to be any rocket far and
Speaker 16: they were correct in that because most of the rock
Speaker 16: and far does come overnight, although Iran has been launching
Speaker 16: missiles earlier in the afternoon, around three or four o'clock.
Speaker 16: So yeah, it was nerve wracking. I was scared, but
Speaker 16: was just happy to be relieved to a cross the
Speaker 16: border into Jordan and then ultimately fly home to Australia.
Speaker 2: There have been travel warnings for some time for the region.
Speaker 2: Given that was the case, why did you go there
Speaker 2: when it was known that it was dangerous?
Speaker 21: Yeah, well it wasn't.
Speaker 1: I do not travel.
Speaker 16: It was a high exercise of a high degree of caution,
Speaker 16: which is the same travel advice for a number of
Speaker 16: other destinations at Australians visit, but I think it's really
Speaker 16: important to visit the only functioning democracy in the Middle East.
Speaker 16: I mean, Israel is such an advanced nation, whether it's
Speaker 16: the economy, whether it's the military, whether it's venture capital.
Speaker 16: They are our closed as ally in the region, and
Speaker 16: they do so much heavy lifting for regional and global security,
Speaker 16: as we're seeing play out at the moment against the
Speaker 16: Iranian nuclear asis. So it's such an incredible nation and
Speaker 16: I think it's really important I'm not Jewish, to show
Speaker 16: support for the Jewish people globally, so there since there
Speaker 16: been such a huge rise in anti Semitism and in
Speaker 16: hatred of the Jewish people and I of Israel, so
Speaker 16: I think it's really important to get there on the
Speaker 16: ground to understand it experience. It was my first trip
Speaker 16: and I have to say the Iranians have not deterred
Speaker 16: me from going back. I think it's an amazing country
Speaker 16: and I would love to go back when it's safe.
Speaker 1: To do so.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the Australians who are now there and trying to
Speaker 2: get out will be safe. Thank you for your time, James,
Speaker 2: Thanks Clinton, thanks so much, Tod you be listener. James,
Speaker 2: who has now successfully come back. He now he has
Speaker 2: had the assistance. He works for Gina Reinhunt and has
Speaker 2: just told me about that, so she's obviously been able
Speaker 2: to assist him with getting back. But there are three
Speaker 2: thousand Australians actually now who formerly registered who want to
Speaker 2: get out, and it won't be as simple as, for instance,
Speaker 2: ordering a special Quarts flight or a Hercules because there's
Speaker 2: now no fly zones across much of the region, but
Speaker 2: many people will want to come home. Seventeen past five
Speaker 2: twenty one past five the new South Wales government's anounced
Speaker 2: today in the budget that's been handed down next Tuesday,
Speaker 2: there'll be a one hundred and fifty six million dollar
Speaker 2: budget increase for roads in Sydney's northwest. Now this is needed,
Speaker 2: it's very much needed. So there'll be forty nine million
Speaker 2: dollars for the Richmond Road Corridor, which will be from
Speaker 2: the M seven to the Driftway in Richmond. There'll be
Speaker 2: thirty million dollars towards planning for the duplication and the
Speaker 2: future connection of Townsend, Burgend and Roads and Schofields. There'll
Speaker 2: be twenty seven million dollars for the planned to upgrade
Speaker 2: Garfield Road West in Marsdon Park. All of this is
Speaker 2: essential and they're saying these projects will be shovel ready,
Speaker 2: so they'll be ready to go and the money'll be there.
Speaker 2: But I know in the announcement that's been made today,
Speaker 2: it says the joint investment of one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: six million dollars in new funding is part of a
Speaker 2: broader roads and transport investment in the budget which focuses
Speaker 2: on must have infrastructure in our suburbs and region that
Speaker 2: support liverability and growth, which is all good, and then
Speaker 2: says not vanity mega projects. And I just find that
Speaker 2: a little curious that phrase vanity mega projects. Well, the
Speaker 2: opposition's taken some events to that. They've held a press
Speaker 2: conference and they've not been happy about that because it's
Speaker 2: obviously a bit of a kick at the former coalition government.
Speaker 2: But it's a bit rough calling major projects that the
Speaker 2: previous state government initiated and finished and in some cases
Speaker 2: started vanity projects. Yeah, I'm sure there were some of those,
Speaker 2: but these major projects with things like the Metro that
Speaker 2: the current government has actually then opened the extension of
Speaker 2: and are continuing to the Paramatta and Westmead Metro. I
Speaker 2: mean Metro is good. The West Connects Motorway now the
Speaker 2: West Connex Motorway costs us a small fortune in tolls,
Speaker 2: but in the end it's a good road. We pay
Speaker 2: an absolute mint to use it, but it's a good road.
Speaker 2: What we need from politicians is both We need funding
Speaker 2: for local roads. We need potholes filled. We need adequate
Speaker 2: infrastructure when we're trying to develop more housing. But it's
Speaker 2: not just vanity projects. Vanity projects, whether they're metros or motorways,
Speaker 2: might be labeled vanity, but they're actually important as well.

Speaker 2: would cost me thirty dollars a week. I use my
Speaker 2: petrol card as well, and it's roughly forty dollars on

Speaker 24: Westpac hire nab high. The banks are making so much
Speaker 24: money out of US Clinton, but they are literally the
Speaker 24: license to print money. Aristocrat also higher and clean Way
Speaker 24: was up as well. So again it's really about the banks.
Speaker 24: And it's so important because I you're a member of
Speaker 24: Australian Super or many of the industry or many retail
Speaker 24: funds and you do have a growth or high growth portfolio.
Speaker 24: Four of the top ten stocks you've probably got in
Speaker 24: Australia are the banks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly the way to look at it. If you
Speaker 2: don't want to pay bank fees, we're still gonna have
Speaker 2: to pay them. But if you want to profit, buy
Speaker 2: some banks shares, but you've got them in Super anyway.
Speaker 2: Unemployment figures out today four point nine percent for the
Speaker 2: last month. Does that have much of an impact on the market.
Speaker 24: No, I didn't. I'm surprised. David Bassiness is going to
Speaker 24: join me show at the top of the show just
Speaker 24: after seven o'clock. A drop from part time work to
Speaker 24: full time work was absorbed. The market did drop by
Speaker 24: two and a half thousand workers over the month, which
Speaker 24: I found a little bit surprising. Participation rate slightly week
Speaker 24: at sixty seven percent. Of course, we did get the
Speaker 24: benefit of the election, so some people work casually and
Speaker 24: part time through that period, so we have to have
Speaker 24: that as an impact. But I do think going forward
Speaker 24: that a lot of the private sector jobs will be
Speaker 24: made flat. But I really think that a lot of
Speaker 24: government jobs could be under threat over the next two
Speaker 24: to three years. Despite the fact that labor were reelected
Speaker 24: and they've said that the public service will be supported.
Speaker 24: I just think there's too many of them. And as
Speaker 24: I said, I'm going to talk to David Bassoni's about
Speaker 24: that right at the top of the show on News.
Speaker 2: We'll hear you from seven o'clock filling in for deab Night.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Scott got Clinton, Scott Hayward tonight with Money
Speaker 2: News on Sydney.
Speaker 4: Now a weather update will be here to help him
Speaker 4: unexpected good weather Nrima Insurance a help company.
Speaker 2: It was a nice afternoon of that on mean. It
Speaker 2: should remain dry this evening. Top temperatures at the moment
Speaker 2: fourteen degrees in the city, eleven degrees in the west.
Speaker 2: It's going to get quite cool this evening though Tomorrow
Speaker 2: mostly sunny day with the forecast top of seventeen. Could
Speaker 2: be some patches of frost and even fog in the
Speaker 2: western suburbs. Tomorrow morning. Across the weekend, the all important
Speaker 2: weekend forecast sunny on Saturday, with eighteen sunny on Sunday
Speaker 2: and nineteen and into next week. Really nice weather actually
Speaker 2: for Monday, sunny and twenty two degrees forecast for Monday.
Speaker 4: If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney
Speaker 4: Now with Clinton Maynard until six.
Speaker 2: Mark Guy are about to make his return for the
Speaker 2: weekend from Perth after watching Origin Too and commentating for
Speaker 2: the Continuous Call team.
Speaker 8: What a game, MG, barklnd Gay buddy. It's been a
Speaker 8: big few days and yeah, you're right at Perth Airport
Speaker 8: ready to come back into the Mighty East. What was
Speaker 8: that game last night? Just had it all? I mean
Speaker 8: at half time obviously the biggest talking point was the
Speaker 8: penalty count Ill look New South was that bad? Probably not?
Speaker 8: But knew Queens Meander a better team in the first half.
Speaker 8: Let's just put that on the table. Yeah they played,
Speaker 8: they handed the conditions, but are they A couple of
Speaker 8: subtle changes from Billy Slater worked perfectly. I think I
Speaker 8: spoke to you when this second game's teams were announced
Speaker 8: and I said, I'm not too sure about urt Cape well, well,
Speaker 8: blow me down. He was very close to the man
Speaker 8: the match last night along with Kevin Monster and our
Speaker 8: homes in the centers with Hammer on the wing. I
Speaker 8: mean defensively the Hammer was a little bit off when
Speaker 8: they'll go down his side with Latrelle and Bryan Tyer.
Speaker 8: But look vour Holmes in origin player and the goal
Speaker 8: kicking has been the difference, winning with kick three from
Speaker 8: ten New South Wales and Queen's to kick six from seven.
Speaker 8: So that's that's that's a story of play.
Speaker 2: And Kurt Caple typified that what is Moraines players? You
Speaker 2: put the Marines jersey on, you might not be playing
Speaker 2: that well at club level and you turned on. It
Speaker 2: was put to him during the week the build up
Speaker 2: MG that apparently in the NRL he has just mount
Speaker 2: the most mistackles in the game at the moment and
Speaker 2: he said it wasn't aware of that. Well, didn't matter
Speaker 2: last night because he was whacking people.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's it. I made the fact at that same
Speaker 8: point to Haulsey on the well were sports last night?
Speaker 8: I said, you know that Cables missed more tackles than anyone,
Speaker 8: and I suppose he kind of thought, you know what, Well,
Speaker 8: tonight I'm going to show him because he was in everything.
Speaker 8: It was every time there was a little mini break
Speaker 8: from New South Wales, so you'd see number eleven or
Speaker 8: where number he had in his back fifteen sixteen. But
Speaker 8: he's just a he just DIDs on balls. He's you know,
Speaker 8: he hit ups were there. Yeah. Look, it was just
Speaker 8: a great, good origin game. That's the third game that's
Speaker 8: been over here in Perth yep, and the first two
Speaker 8: have been New South Wales floggings of the Coisland. That
Speaker 8: last night was a real good taste of what's to
Speaker 8: come for the for the public overhare and.
Speaker 2: That's it was actually a good game. Okay, we didn't win,
Speaker 2: but but to have us make that comeback in the
Speaker 2: second half which would have been the biggest comeback of
Speaker 2: all time. You mentioned bron T was just for a
Speaker 2: little okay, sure, but he's so nuggety. He was so good.
Speaker 8: I thought last night he's fantastic, you know. And the
Speaker 8: good thing I was suppose about game three was that
Speaker 8: Latrell and Steph and Crichton had relatively quiet games for
Speaker 8: their illustrious portfolio. I mean the weather. Yeah, so I
Speaker 8: think Coensland definitely helped handle a lot better.
Speaker 2: But you know what, when I was thinking the same
Speaker 2: thing about the trail, right, are you thinking, you know,
Speaker 2: superstar player, what's he doing? And then he pulls off
Speaker 2: that strip, which that almost won them the game because
Speaker 2: he's the sort of player just pulls something out of
Speaker 2: his backside and turns a game. And he did that.
Speaker 2: He almost did that last night.
Speaker 8: He did he did and you know when I think
Speaker 8: about it, except he except Ryan to for three tries
Speaker 8: through the last parts, for three of his tries. So look,
Speaker 8: it was just a great game. The amophere was sensational.
Speaker 8: The per public were treated to a fantastic contest. And
Speaker 8: all I say is bring on game three because I
Speaker 8: cannot wait.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, question for you, she should actually climb referee
Speaker 2: game through because you know, Laurie Daily has been in
Speaker 2: his own sort of way critical today it was. The
Speaker 2: penalty count was ridiculously lopsided.
Speaker 8: Yep, it's the most I think it seems been penalized
Speaker 8: in the history of original in one half eight penalties.
Speaker 8: And look, you can have you get have a case
Speaker 8: for maybe half of them. But look, I don't want
Speaker 8: to sit here and disparage the ref because it's jobs
Speaker 8: start with. But to answer your question, yeah, why not.
Speaker 8: But I think I don't think he'll be that unfavorable
Speaker 8: to the Blues in game three. I think that you know,
Speaker 8: every fifty to fifty went the queens Lands way, which
Speaker 8: is which was disappointing. But yeah, look new so well,
Speaker 8: they won't make any changes for game throughout, although I'm
Speaker 8: reading this morning that maybe Nathan Cleary and pay Half
Speaker 8: both took injuries into the game last night and it
Speaker 8: was only until the warm up that they got there.
Speaker 2: All clear, that's safe, am save Cleary?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: And yeah he was quiet, but he did go for
Speaker 2: a try, scored a try that was dislods of obstruction.
Speaker 2: But just say he's ruled out. Mitchell Roses is ruled out?
Speaker 2: Who plays half back of Clear?
Speaker 8: He's out Chita from the Dolphins.
Speaker 2: Wow, I think he's you know, when when guys are
Speaker 2: in the performer, he's in.
Speaker 8: I think you've got to pluck him from obscurity and
Speaker 8: put him in the big blue jersey.
Speaker 2: Brother, What was like running out of the game, ball
Speaker 2: you walked out the game?
Speaker 8: That was awesome. That was awesome. It was pouring rain
Speaker 8: of the day and then the come and grab me
Speaker 8: and said I'm doing it now. I said, can't wa
Speaker 8: wait till the rains that I had made this, So
Speaker 8: I went down put the jersey on, and just as
Speaker 8: I put the jersey on Clinton, the rain stopped. My friend,
Speaker 8: there was divine intervention from above and there was awesome
Speaker 8: that I went out and I know the blokes from
Speaker 8: wolf Mutter who performed last night. So all of a
Speaker 8: sudden I'm about to put the ball on the plube
Speaker 8: and Andrew stockda from out mate. Yeah, my great honor,
Speaker 8: a great honor, and probably having the connection to Perth
Speaker 8: that I've got and being with two g with I
Speaker 8: just want to thank Westpac and the NRL for the opportunity.
Speaker 2: Well, now that you've been back to Perth after this time,
Speaker 2: what do you think the chances are of the Bears
Speaker 2: in terms of winning out of the Perth public? What
Speaker 2: are they fighting there?
Speaker 8: Well, that's the biggest problem. That's the biggest obstacle going
Speaker 8: forward facing this new seventeenth two because eighteh and whatever
Speaker 8: they are. The WA media is basically run by Kerry Stakes,
Speaker 8: who is the owner of Channel seven, is the owner
Speaker 8: of the Western Australian paper that is their number one
Speaker 8: paper over here. In this morning there was in the
Speaker 8: bottom left hand side of the front page a disparaging
Speaker 8: headline about something about two Eastern States rugby teams come
Speaker 8: and try and bush each other.
Speaker 1: And that was it.
Speaker 8: That was all we had in the paper.
Speaker 2: Sixty thousand people there in the rain.
Speaker 8: May they look, something's got to happen. Look, they've got
Speaker 8: to be there's gotta be someone break bread with each other.
Speaker 8: I don't know where the land he's got to get
Speaker 8: into bed with Kerry Stakes, who is who is a
Speaker 8: life member of the South Sydney Rabbits. Mind you, that
Speaker 8: was bestowed upon him back in two thousand and four.
Speaker 8: So he has got a connection to rugby league. Do
Speaker 8: you see the Bears obviously was Kerry stakes right hand
Speaker 8: man and now he's gone. I think I think we're
Speaker 8: seeing that how pete off Kerry Stakes actually is with
Speaker 8: the whole you know, Western Bears, Perth Bears alignment. So
Speaker 8: what's his space? But I look to survive, you know,
Speaker 8: the media with you all against you just need to
Speaker 8: be They need to be spoken about in some way.
Speaker 8: And look, I know that the Swans and the g
Speaker 8: WS Giants have a similar problem in Sydney, but at
Speaker 8: least we respect them for who they are. We don't
Speaker 8: try and block them out that they're trying to guts
Speaker 8: out to have a piece, have a little finger hold
Speaker 8: in Sydney. Obviously they're never going to take over the
Speaker 8: Rugby League, similar to the Perth Bears whenever we're going
Speaker 8: to take over the AFL ever ever to ANFL dominated city,
Speaker 8: but always want to. We want to amalgamate, not take over.
Speaker 2: MG save travels back home from Perth. We're going to
Speaker 2: talk tomorrow.
Speaker 8: Oh way, buddy, so mate, Mark Guy.
Speaker 2: Word on the street is thanks to Temper, a great
Speaker 2: night's sleep, night after night. The difference is Temper. If
Speaker 2: there's something you want us to investigate that qualifies for
Speaker 2: a word on the street, and then every Friday we
Speaker 2: give away two Temper cooling pillows, the best one of
Speaker 2: the wheat works six hundred dollars. Word on the Street
Speaker 2: came from one of our bus driving listeners who told
Speaker 2: me about the problems with the open card technology. Now,
Speaker 2: Transport for New South Wales says ninety nine percent of
Speaker 2: occasions the open card works. My bus driver told us, well, no,
Speaker 2: thirty to forty percent of the time it's failing. Plenty
Speaker 2: of you told me that you try to tap on
Speaker 2: and that doesn't work. A few of you tell me
Speaker 2: you don't tap on anyway. Well that's your call. But
Speaker 2: if you've got a word on the street for me
Speaker 2: for temper, send me an email tonight t GB dot com.
Speaker 2: Just the latest regarding the shooting that's occurred in Elderly
Speaker 2: at the caravan park this afternoon. Police will be making
Speaker 2: a formal statement at half past six tonight at Durell
Speaker 2: And Police Station with the Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden. So
Speaker 2: what we have now been able to confirm is there
Speaker 2: was a siege at the caravan park. Police were called
Speaker 2: there around lunchtime with a man who had been threatening
Speaker 2: self harm. Now they tried to speak with the man
Speaker 2: for several hours. Eventually they've brought in the Tactical Response
Speaker 2: Group such was their concern and at one point the man,
Speaker 2: according to the police, has lunged with them with a knife.
Speaker 2: The police have then used a taser that has failed.
Speaker 2: They then opened fire. The man has been shot. He
Speaker 2: is now in Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition.
Speaker 1: You want to know what's happening in Sydney.
Speaker 4: Stay tuned to Sydney Now with Clinton and on to
Speaker 4: gb Clement.
Speaker 2: The text line says, well done for Spencer and Ezra
Speaker 2: hugging it out as we've heard about from Pete David
Speaker 2: and that'll be in nine years now. Look, I don't
Speaker 2: think Ezra Man should have been part of Origin last night.
Speaker 2: My opinion, I think he probably shouldn't be playing rugby
Speaker 2: league at the moment. Not to say you shouldn't play
Speaker 2: rugby league again, but I think now was a little
Speaker 2: bit too early. This morning, I was on YouTube and
Speaker 2: it was released today, the trailer for what I think
Speaker 2: is going to be a fantastic new movie that's going
Speaker 2: to be released at the end of the year. Well,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a bit of a fan of Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 2: Forget politics, just I love his music. Well, there'll be
Speaker 2: a bio pick released later this year October. It's going
Speaker 2: to be called Deliver Me Nowhere. It stars Jeremy Allen White.
Speaker 2: And that's Jeremy Allen White. That's part of the trailer
Speaker 2: where he's on stage playing Bruce Born to one. Now,
Speaker 2: if you don't know that name, you might know the show.
Speaker 2: It's very well regarded called the Bear. He's the main star.
Speaker 2: Actually think the Bearer has been overrated, but he's the
Speaker 2: main star and the Bear. And he plays Bruce Springsteen
Speaker 2: in this movie. Based on the trailer, it looks sensational
Speaker 2: and I'm a bit of a fan of me U
Speaker 2: bio Pick movies. I thought Rocketman was excellent about Elton John.
Speaker 2: The Bohemian Rhapsody by a Pick was outstanding on Freddie
Speaker 2: Mercury and Queen. I reckon this one might top them all.
Speaker 2: So it's on the Boss. It's called deliver me nowhere
Speaker 2: to be out in October.
